There’s only one thing you can do: stop using it, giving them [an opportunity to use your data for] money. Everything other solution is mediocre at best. Thanks for sharing, though.

Yeah, agreed that’s best.
As I said in the article, I encountered this issue with Google Workspace for a client. I’ve tried to suggest they migrate off Google, but they’re a small nonprofit and have 0 IT staff or budget for an alternative. And they’re grandfathered-in to a free Google Workspace account (as an NGO).

Yes, for small, especially non-IT businesses, it’s really hard. But thank you again for the article, I think we might (unfortunately) need such setup for different other things in the near future too.

Banks come to mind. And government-provided servicers, like health insurance.
