I wonder how many poorly designed database schemas this will break that used email as a primary key/id.
- saagarjha 7y agoI think the email is consistent for each app, so there should only be a problem if the user wants to change their email, right? Plus, apps would have to opt-in to support this.
- not_kurt_godel 7y agoWhy would this break any databases? Accounts will still have valid emails. The difference is just that there won't be data for that email in third-party tracking databases, which is a good thing.
- dmix 7y agoI don't think you'll find much sympathy for someone who's software would break on such a change. That sounds broken already.
- beat 7y agoYeah, it doesn't break anything. It just reveals that it was already broken.
