They are doing the same with Wero.
I believe the fit is so poor that google should really object to it. I already refuse to make youtube videos because I need my gmail account.[1] If I need my google account for my ID and my payments I cant use gmail.[2] I also don't need Google ads badly enough.
It doesn't take a lot of stupid to lose the account but ANY account activity at all may trigger false positives.
In theory the US government can seize EU google accounts. Given time I'm sure we can find even crazier rulers than Ursula and Donald combined.
[1] - I got one flag for a 10 min video including 10 sec of 1991 footage from a local NZ news agency credited both in the video and linked in the description.
[2] - I've already lost my account once temporarily for jokingly hitting reply-all without looking how many cc's there were.
We should force some executives to enable their kids to play rublox on a non play integrity device.
That would solve the issue rather quickly.
