Google is testing a 5GB free storage limit for new Gmail accounts unless users add a phone number to unlock the full 15GB.

      GrapheneOS is built for Google devices. Doesn’t really solve the email problem though.

        De-googling your life solves the email problem.

            They wish. They’re adding friction to a few sites, but they can’t force literally the whole world to use gmail…right?

              They’re large enough to ban alternative providers from mailing their servers and see little in the way of puahback. But I agree that the future lies elsewhere. Recently started moving email to disroot.org.

        You own a Google phone, and somehow think they don’t already have your number?
