This is like the story when Google shut off GMail for people who purchased (or sold?) a Pixel phone through eBay.
At least criminals who encrypt your files let you pay a ransom. Wonder if Google should do that too, "We shut off your account for reasons we won't explain. But if you pay us $1200 you can get it back"
- acidburnNSA 9y agoAgreed. And this further reinforces the idea that running my own personal email server is worth it. I get that the vast majority of people aren't going to do this and that most people on HN advise against it. I'll tell you though, there's some satisfaction now that I have everything up and running smoothly, with well-trained spamassassin and 10/10 server scores on mail-tester.com.
- pdonis 9y agoGoogle isn't an ISP, and you don't pay them for access to GMail. So I would say you're in an even worse position with regard to Google than you are with respect to your ISP, as far as expectation of support is concerned.
