I appreciate the insight, but think that regardless of terms, agreements, etc, that they cross lines and go too far. I'm thoroughly confident that the public will concur.
And if a particular unethical or hostile business practice is legal now, it doesn't necessarily imply that it will remain so. Also consider that many universities use Google for email services. Sketchy territory.
- drpossum 2y agoThose universities pay for those email services and are under different terms. If you are paying for those services and didn't get what you paid for that is extremely different than getting locked out of a random free gmail account. Like I said, even if the public was supportive of that, google would start charging for or close the services the second they became liable and the product was unprofitable. You can do yourself a favor by moving to a service that does offer the terms you want (and where you pay for it).
