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? … 😠

    Yeah, I recently tried to sign up for a Playstation account and they wouldn’t let me use Proton. Thankfully I could use simplelogin but really shouldnt’ve needed to.

      I’m new to Simple Login, though I’ve used throwaway addresses like mytrashmail (with no link to my real email of course) for a while. What I wonder is, if Sony are fussy about Proton, why do simplelogin domains not trip them up? That would seem even dodgier if you thought only services like Google’s were trustworthy.

        Pretty sure its a domain blacklist, not whitelist. Not sure how they blocked Proton without blocking SimpleLogin, because anyone who does any research into Proton will hear about it.
