- toss1 3y agoI didn't see that, but if so, then clearly more steps (i.e., more locations, hidden) were needed in that risk scenario. Plus, he had 60 days, then 7 days notice form Google. I'm not saying I don't feel bad for the guy, but can you really say that it was smart to rely on even a paid Google account, considering how often Google randomly drop entire product lines, or nuke individual accounts for random reasons with zero recourse (e.g., the screw-up of a 7-year-old kid described in the same article)?
- Ekaros 3y agoEven more so time line: 2023/05/26 News about FBI seizure 10 July 2023 End of grace period 16 December 2023 closure of account So there would have been plenty of time for new backups... Between July and December.
