hashed email xD, if someone has email it's just hash(email) == email. given how many emails leaked producing hashes of 90% of population emails is not a problem

Damn it damn it damn it!! I can't use Jellyfin because...its what I watch all my porn on. Plex was used for all the family stuff. Mother fuckers! Greed is a bitch. Edit: Wait..what if we are using a VPN...shouldnt we be good then?

You can hide libraries on jellyfin.

Just create a family user and a porn user and login how you please.

It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn't do anything for.
