After reading this, I'm rethinking using my own domain email as an ID on websites. I trust that Gmail will be around a lot longer than me paying my own domain.

I trust that Gmail will be around a lot longer than me paying my own domain. I've been paying for my own domain for years but at some time I'll stop and someone else will own it; this gives them ownership of my email address.
- kevingrahl 8y agoIt's certainly something to keep in mind. But there are problems with a similar outcome that could arise by using a third party provider like Gmail. They could suspend your account for example which is far more unlikely to happen with a domain. As long as you pay for both it and your server/email provider you should be good. I personally would rather risk what happened here than dealing with Google in case my account got suspended.
