Later in the thread:<p>&quot;OK I think I&#x27;ve figured out the issue.<p>I can see email addresses for @jason_kint and @KingJosiah54 but not @MattNavarra and @MattOswaltVA<p>The issue seems to only affect users that haven&#x27;t setup a <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;Paypal.me" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;Paypal.me</a> &#x27;nickname&#x27;, therefore @Paypal reveals their email address&quot;
