What's easier? Not getting an Apple card or changing Google.
- jbarberu 7y agoI'm honestly not sure, I'd say getting off Google is the "better" choice with that kind of arbitrary risk of a ban.
- jes 7y agoI'm taking a middle path, making changes at my own pace on things that lessen my interactions with Google, Facebook, etc. I'm enjoying Protonmail, for example.
- danShumway 7y agoAvoiding Apple card is no guarantee that you won't run into the same problem somewhere else. What's easier? Changing Google, or spending all of your time constantly worrying that your entire business could be disrupted or destroyed at random? You can't look at it as one isolated event with one isolated solution; the takeaway is, "even innocuous, good-faith 'mistakes' might be enough for Google to randomly shut me down with no explanation and no recourse." There's no way to guard against that except to stop using Google.

- slenk 7y agoIt would only keep them from banning you for the use of a virtual card...unless you used a virtual card of some other kind.
