Why couldn't Google prevent signups using domains of Google Apps customers? That doesn't seem like it would break anything.

  because the collisions can already exist when someone signs up for google workspace. and what are you going to do, delete those accounts? a lot of those would be personal accounts on educational domains...

    That's not a reason to not allow individual signups on @customer.domain AFTER customer.domain is a Google Workspace domain, which is the hole being discussed in the article. FWIW Adobe actually lets businesses take ownership of individual accounts with the same domain... see https://www.adobe.com/legal/terms.html https://www.adobe.com/legal/terms.html section 1.4

      Google has an ownership taking process, the user gets informed and during next login their address changes to a gtemp account and they are informed

        I used to have a google account with my personal domain then I registered to Google Workspace 4-5 years ago. Since then, I have this message when I log in : > Your account has been modified. > The address user@domain.com is no longer available because an organization has reserved rickynotaro.com. Why is this important now? > > Don't worry. Your data is safe. To use them, you must create an account with a different email address. Your password and security settings will remain unchanged. > Account details > > What type of account do you want to use? > > An account with Gmail and a new Gmail address > Select this option to add Gmail to this account.

Ex.: myname@yahoo.com > Choose this option if you want Google products except Gmail. > Btn_Continue Btn_Do_it_later Not sure what to do? I've been pressing "Do it later" for years. I'm still using this account for youtube, maps and other services. I should probably use a secondary domain and use this address. Some service prevents me from changing my email address when signing with google and weird behavious happens when it tries to use my user%domain.com@gtempaccount.com Google documents it here: https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/1699308?hl=en&ctx=ch_AddressNoLongerAvailable&p=mail&sjid=10890393406904530700-NA#ts=1699315 https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/1699308?h...
