For reasons that boggle my mind, I am required to keep a Google account for work (ties into some proprietary software the company uses)
Earlier today, I got the following -
Yes, I’m certain people under the age of 16 are known for their use of very specific EHR software that requires professional license to subscribe to in the first place. Makes perfect sense.
Anyone else get one of these “for you protection” msgs from Big evil?
I see this as an absolute win, keep not knowing my age!
Right. Safe Search doesn't matter because Google Search has been outclassed for a while now. There's no drawbacks... other than the fact that apparently OP gets told about this every single day.
Data gathering and analysis is still happening in the background. They just won't show you these 2 things in the frontend.
They will nuke your account after 14-30 days if you don't comply.
Really? That's... astonishing.
You know what? I hope they do that. So long as they give fair warning, so I don't rock up to work one day and no longer have access to work files / OAuth / 2FA without warning.
They send an email, I can escalate. Not my problem then.
Mine still works years after they sent me those messages
is this true? i think i have some few old google accounts i used to use, guess i should see if i can login and backup some data if there's any left...
Man I got Google accounts I can't even log into cuz I never saved my passwords when I was younger
