>>11845877I was just about to comment on the Google thing.
Ben kinda made it out like they just gave him everything the next day after confronting them for the first time, which is fucked if true, but I assume it was more towards the tail end of the thing, after legal stuff/court was already in motion.
I'm glad I have two Google accounts, my main one is logged in on a separate browser, exclusive for Youtube, and my main browser is a burner account I made so my search history wouldn't be linked to my Youtube account when they bought them and merged it, and whenever I visit a website and it's like LOG IN WITH GOOGLE AND GIVE US YOUR DETAILS I'm like yeah lmao go nuts, none of it is real and I never check my emails.
Also luckily my main account has been active for so long they haven't asked me for age verification, I assume it's probably 15+ years old or so, so unless I made it as a googoogaga baby then I'm clearly atleast 18 by now, but won't surprise me if they throw common sense out the window and change that in the future. I would like to get a fake ID AI generated to get the burner account verified however, if anyone is into that.
