quietly backs up google drive The real fun on this shit will start if Google needs age verification to access Gdrive and / or docs. Which are used by many, many, manyyyy businesses.

Of course, being that the fresh hell mandate kicks in on a weekend in the middle of a period people are guaranteed to take off, we’re not gonna see the real fireworks until next year.

It legit could happen given schools all use chromebooks and Google products by extension

I backed mine up too and switched to remade alternate provider emails in case I lose access but I may have missed some :/

The more they pull this shit the more I’m going to retreat from their platforms and services

  It’s not a social media ban. It’s a “protect the children from teh PORN!!” rule.

    It is so much bullshit. I’m absolutely down to Degoogle but it’s a lot of administrative work and organisation for someone who doesn’t even have energy for hobbies (and loses items while they’re holding it)

    A lot of small businesses literally run on google sheets and docs (I work for one, hence the prudent backups before we go on leave until next year). Most of them tend to be of the sort that provide things other companies literally need to operate. Going to be a bit of an oopsie here.

    Lol why don’t they just do what the UK did (but the kids got around that too)? Or just make the ban for everyone if we need to verify our ages
