How hard is it to implement email verification?
Uh, okay. My account isn’t even registered to a phone number, never has been, and my mobile devices aren’t registered with Google.
I’m currently only signed into Google on my laptop, and if I do happen to sign into another device (which has happened before), Google just drops me an email something along these lines…
‘A new device has logged into your account. If this wasn’t you, click here, but if it was you, there’s nothing you need to do’
check your permissions, & then check, on google, what those perms allow…
IF you’re in Android, not iPhone, THEN there is nothing you can do to block google from knowing your phone-number.
Whether iPhone users truly have privacy from google…
i wouldn’t bet much on that…
As former mafia man ( Firenzese, or something ) said:
once they’ve got enough all-pervading leverage on you, then you cannot win: the leverage locks.
I’m misphrasing it, and he was speaking about the mob, but the principle is true, globally not only in the context he was speaking.
All of surveillance-capitalism is rooted in putting the subjects/serfs in a panopticon, & never letting them out, squeezing them all until the individuals die, being replaced by new inmates, but the population-as-a-whole never would be tolerated to escape…
Perfect industrialized parasitism.
sorry about the bitterness: i’m an old geek & had some idea of what good could be done, world-wide, with tech…
DarkTriad’s incorporated-feudalism proved it won, totally, easily.
