It’s been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now…

They send me to this support page which seems like I have lost my account with all the data and stuff I had from when I was younger…

I don’t think this is normal or ethic to do (I know Google has been never ethic), but this makes me so angry because I never wanted to lose all that data…

Do they basically know every people networks? And if you don’t let them know… you lose access to Google? … 😠

    nothing to do with ethics

    They’re asking to access to my local network is.

    You claim you never wanted to lose the data, yet haven’t got into that acct for years…clearly it’s nothing important.

    I have all my photos and stuff from where I was young, I don’t access every day but yeah I didn’t want to lose them all. You want to make a list of everything I lost and expose here a big list of personal stuff?

    Google sucks from a privacy standpoint, but has amazing security, and they need to, Googles level of paranoia with accts is literally the only way to keep accts safe, people have way too much in them. Even going back years before it was cranked up like it is now, the options to have backup email addresses, phone numbers, 2FA, all other ways to verify yourself in the event of an acct lockout.

    It’s not about security, they’re just blocking me even they know where I am from, and my IPs are from the same zone, and they could message me a verification code on my phone as that never changed.

    You are pretty wrong on the whole text you wrote.
