Some time ago, I switched to google fi. The experience has been pretty positive (monthly bills are low, speeds are decent, the idea of seamlessly switching between networks is appealing).
But when I read horror stories of people getting their google accounts terminated, I realize that losing my google account would also remove my ability to receive SMS 2FA codes, and recovering all my accounts would be even more difficult than for a person who is merely dependent on gmail.
This would be less of a concern if google had a way to associate separate accounts with each service, users could have confidence that google would actually treat them as distinct, even if they're continually used from the same devices, etc.
- judge2020 6y agoHopefully Google gets a better grip on this - they already ban YT channels while leaving the rest of the G account in-tact (including in cases of copyright violation, although limited to YT - G Drive copyright probably still affects your entire account), so it's in their power to ban you only on certain services, it's just a mystery.
