Times simular to your exaggeration will come and people will say “But it’s their service! If you want to use it, you have to follow their rules”. Not understanding that they’re slowly handing over control over their lives because we live in a modern time where everything is about technology. Sad to see how many people don’t understand this and disagree with me when I say that I’m infuriated over this.
While that is true, I do not fall into that category. I let KeePassXC generate all my passwords and most of them are longer than 30 chars. I’m just simply tired of being forced. I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies.
I understand that Google already has my phone number. That’s not so much of a problem for me. I am trying to limit the amount of personal information that I hand out to websites & services. I believe that companies shouldn’t need my personal phone number to create, maintain or secure my account. If I need security, I’ll install 2FA TOTP. If not, that’s still my decision and I shouldn’t be forced. Especially not in form of having to provide my phone number.
Yes. Because I don’t want to give Google that information about me any longer. Which is my right and according to you Google is justified in locking me out and demanding that I give them that information to regain access to my account?
People like you fail to see the implications of this. We more and more live in a world where technology rules everything. Soon the CBDCs might take over. And when and if they do, you’re gonna be forced to provide all sorts of information about yourself. Lets hope that you too will be okay with handing over your data just so you can buy groceries. After all, it’s their system, their service. If you don’t like their rules, don’t use it. Right? :)
