No, it's not a problem. It's your problem if you become entrenched in their (or Apple's / FB / whatever) services.
I have a google account to test my devices / emulators. Never logged in gmail with that account, never will. If they cut it off, I can make another.
Same with Apple. I have an Apple free ID for running virtual machines with MacOS / iOS and that's all. I tell my customers to create their own Apple ID and I deliver them the sources + dev environment and they make their own binaries and publish on Apple store. My job is done once I make the app run on emulators and I tell them from the start of the project this.
I have a FB account to talk on FB mess with parents from school and that's all. I don't even have them as friends there, I am just in 3 lists and that's all.
Also i use protonmail currently as I've started migrating from yahoo 2 years ago (old e-mails still there, I open that e-mail like once per month).
Do the same, you'll be free. Also you can use an e-mail account outside of google domain to actually create a google account, if you really need one.
- daniellarusso 6y agoI do not have a FB account, but the test accounts I create d got banned fairly quickly. This was to work on an API integration.
- gboss 6y agoOff topic but Facebook’s developer portal has a create test user capability that works pretty well. I don’t use Facebook either but if I need it for work I create a Facebook with my work email.
- stale2002 6y ago> No, it's not a problem. It's your problem if you become entrenched in their It absolutely is a problem for a large amount of people. > Do the same, you'll be free The vast majority of people in the world are not taking the same actions as you are. Therefore this is a large problem for many many people.
