That's not quite the same. I'm not required to make an account with Google to go to the library. Being registered by a government agency and being tracked by multi-national that is famous for abusing tracking data are on a different planet imo. The problem, for me at least, is that I do not use google products. I do not have an account and do not want one. So for me, this is not openly available. We could argue about the merits of being so principled in not using google, but that seems besides the point :) I should be free to no do business with Google and if that precludes me from accessing something, it is not openly available I'd say
