    I don’t believe that it really would have to. Any official government accounts likely are tied to the government Google organization. If you are talking about private accounts then Google can use the horde of data they have to tie government officials to private accounts.

    Overall though, this is also following the belief that anyone in the government is smart enough to use ad blockers which I have my doubts. I don’t think any real high up government official uses ad block.

        Hey bad actor, stop name-calling if you want to have a conversation. There are a lot of limitations to the computers that government officials work on and what I said was clearly in jest. Most IT departments do not put in ad block on the preinstalled browsers in my experience and furthermore will block you with group policies from doing much with your computer.
