Re:Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @04:34PM (#50358510)
I just abandoned my 22yo gmail account. I feel liberated and empowered!

I found all of the new LLM features to be utterly pointless and incredibly annoying, but the last straw was when my account was abruptly locked recently. For a week I couldn't access mail, maps, photos, digital picture frames for my extended family all went dark, my personal blog ... all shut down with no reason given. No customer support available to contact to resolve google's mistake. A week later, it was suddenly unlocked again. Still no reason given.

Fuck google. You are not their customer; you are their product. Google doesn't care about you any more than Tyson cares about the chickens it sells.
