I cannot comprehend people who agree to have a spy in their own home and they even pay for the privilege.
"Pizza Over Privacy", a Stanford study... https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/pizza-over-privacy-paradox-digital-age Basically, people trade their privacy for convenience and don't consider the long term cost.
While I don't dispute the thesis, this is deeply flawed.
Why flawed?
These students are giving away someone else's email addresses. They may deeply care about their own privacy and not care about the privacy of their friends. Plus giving away just email addresses (assuming there was nothing else) for a free pizza is not necessarily any invasion of privacy as these can be simply made up.
So I wouldn't draw any conclusions from this exercise.
Also says nothing about the validity of those emails.
Sure they can have my friend börg.börginson@notyourbusiness.com email address.
But they did give! They did not chose to deny and not have pizza.
I think they mean morally on the part of the student
