i’ve seen multiple tweets about this, i cannot confirm, but i wouldn’t put it past google. such an endlessly pigheaded and stupid company at every turn. they’re allegedly sending these emails out sporadically to some random subset of gmail users

this is a massive blow to the internet. imagine how many old accounts will be unrecoverable.
what’s next? search?
I mean, I remember the days people used to post about how Facebook was going to “start charging for access.”
They already scan the data every email you send and receive, and that data is worth more to them than any monthly fee.
Yeah right, they’re totally shutting down their fucking cash cow.
