WHEN GOOGLE OWNS YOU – A NEW CHAPTER
It's intriguing to me how we all trust Google with our valuable data, and hence they are an absolute tech giant, yet if following some of the ideas in Brogan's "Trust Agents," should we really trust Google? They are one of the least engaging brands out there.
Almost two years ago, I wrote When Google Owns You, about what happened with Nick Saber was cut off from all his Google applications. It’s worth taking a quick read now. Now, it’s my turn. I woke up this morning in Montreal to find that my access to my Google accounts has been temporarily disabled due to a “perceived violation of either the Google Terms of Service or product-specific Terms of Service.”
**UPDATE: So, now that I’m back in the States (Philadelphia en route to home), I put in the “send me a text message” verification code option thingy. It sent my phone a text (not via Google Voice, obviously), and then just asked me to put in my new password. Technically, it wasn’t exactly hard to reset the account.
But what happened? No feedback. No idea. Just dead. That’s the part that gets me. The method? Whatever. But no information?
