    I’d argue the bigger moral is that you should always own your online identity. You should buy your own domain (@yourname.xyz or something like that) and make your email on that. So if Google bans you, you just switch email providers and keep your address.

      I’ve been using @fixnum.org and since a few years the alias @wim.land to do exactly this, but that’s just email.

      My app purchases, photo storage, and YouTube account are all entangled in this. I could decouple from Google, but it would be very painful.
