Wait, I have to set up burner accounts all the time for Red Team engagements and you can usually get a google account with SMS verification only. Are you sure you’re doing it correctly? are you doing it from Tor or a VPN or an internet café?
Why would your country matter in the process for an internet account if you can use an IP from virtually anywhere?
All these tiny details matter for your OpSec, and every choice also affects how hard you trigger abuse prevention mechanisms from service providers.
Details aside, yes it is getting harder and its insane that you need actual professional skills to maintain privacy, where it should be the default.
Educate yourself and your loved ones on surveillance self-defense:

Also, lmao at expecting privacy from anything Google.
