Google's Gmail Decision-Why You Need A New Email Address

Google’s ongoing campaign to narrow the security and privacy gap between 
Android and iPhone, as well as the wider Google and Apple ecosystems has 
just taken its latest twist. For 2 billion Gmail users, this could 
completely change how you use email.

Apple’s Hide My Email feature lets users keep their personal email 
addresses private, away from the information brokers who sell lists of 
email addresses and phone numbers that drive the global scourge of spam 
and cold calling.

Now it seems Google has decided to follow suit—a surprise decision no-one 
saw coming and which was not touted with the other privacy and security 
updates this year. Per Android Authority, “sure, Gmail is an absolute 
champ at filtering out spam, but every time you share your email with 
someone even a little bit shady, do you feel like you’re playing with fire 
and risking a whole bunch of unwanted contact? Google may just have a 
solution in the works, at least by the looks of our latest teardown.”
