Earlier quoted context omitted.
No. Stop. An email address is not a publicly available record. And I have no idea how on earth you could think it would be.
>No. Stop. An email address is not a publicly available record. Sure it is. it's given out extensively for individuals to contact you. Same as a phone number used to be published in a phone book. Same as we publish public keys and same as your username here is public. It is by definition, something that is shared to the public for public use... as opposed to a secret like a passphrase or private key.
I disagree with your premise, but even if the email address itself were a public record, the connection of the email address to the service that has been breached is not public.
This is obvious in cases like the Ashley Madison leak.
