And that's totally fine. People should not treat IT services as something reliable, it is extremely unreliable and prone to many issues thing.
Once it will be understood, losing xx-years accounts wouldn't be a problem.
I know this is controversial idea, but the more I see cases like that, the more I am sure about it
- paganel 4y ago> And that's totally fine. People should not treat IT services as something reliable, Problem is the "society" around us (for lack of a better word) treats IT services as something reliable, see how more and more countries go digital/electronic only when it comes to payments or relationship with the government.
- jesterson 4y agoExactly. that's why governments love IT and push it - they weaponise it against citizens.
- rexf 4y agoWebsites & apps treat your e-mail or phone number as your identity. Is it ideal? No, but it's reality. Until everyone can agree on a better system, your e-mail is your online identity across countless websites. This makes losing your e-mail (with no customer support to regain access) a huge vulnerability in everyone's personal life.
