There have been big deal stories of people losing access to their Gmail accounts and Google's response is basically "tough shit.". There are also a lot of them that don't get much traction. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22294159 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22294159 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2033474 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2033474 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17745761 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17745761 You can dig through the rest: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=lost%20access%20to%20gmail https://hn.algolia.com/?q=lost%20access%20to%20gmail

  This is insane of course, but I have no idea how to avoid Google in the modern tech world, especially if you use the Android platform.

    > This is insane of course, but I have no idea how to avoid Google in the modern tech world, especially if you use the Android platform. I don't have a google account tied to my android-based phone. The only drawback I'm aware of is that playstore doesn't work. So I download the apks directly and install that way, for things I can't install via one of the alternate app stores.
