what the fuck happened
Disable all your botnet countermeasures and try again
greedy (((ads)))
gmail was never good
only retards used it
well, I ain't sending and bureaucratic correspondence from cock.li
Don't forget the part where the replaced the page with a massively bloated gaping cunt of scripts and shit that takes like 5 seconds to fully load where old gmail was instant. And if you take an action like marking as read or deleting, you have to leave the tab open for the same ~5 seconds or it doesn't save.

Selling data and people making hundreds of throwaway for scam and spamming purposes. Taking and selling data in itself isn't malicious or harmful but the amount Google and Facebook have are disturbing to the point where they're worth avoiding as much as possible

2 factor authentication is more of a good thing than a bad thing. Use something else if you don't like mandatory security.
Its not even 2 factor authentication.
I'm being forced to give them my phone just to login, on an account that doesn't have 2 factor. An account I specifically created to be segregated from my other accounts.

that's not two-factor authentication. Sometimes 2FA is a side-effect, but the main purpose is to get rid of your anonymity by forcing you to tie your account to something that can be traced to your real IRL self.
But hey, as long as it's a private company doing it rather than the government, it's A-okay!
I miss Outlook Express.
Pretty scary when a few companies have more influence to every aspect of governing than probably half the worlds governments combined. I can't wait to fight in the great FB-VK War for our lord Zuckerbergoldsteinjudennasenbaum.

Thread is just paranoid Jow Forumstards thinking the worst case scenario dystopian cyberpunk reality they invented in their head is real life
Didn't notice
Went through
Either not necessarily OP but the replies, fuck off to /b/ and Jow Forums

Its one thing to farm data that you're willingly giving them for the sake of convenience. I don't care if google sells my searches, its annoying, but I gave it to them knowing they'd do that.
What's annoying is when they force you to input a god damn phone number just to access your mail, and giving you no other option.
how can I be good enough to draw cute girls like in OP's pic?
Even Yandex is doing it now
/x/ here, ask you know who for the skill like everyone else did
