If they don't store identifiying information, the app can't perform it's main purpose, which is to share secrets _with people you know_. In fact, I don't think it's possible for this app to work without this vulnerability. For any set of rules they can provide, a set of sockpuppet accounts can be created to fulfill those rules and only track a single real person.

So create a bunch of accounts with different sets of friends and find out where the intersections between friends and posted secrets are. Busted. This application is fundamentally flawed in it's current form. To even approach feasibility you would need to give people the power to view and approve emails that are following them. Then social circles would naturally form within the app along with a form of self governance.
