Someone else said 'your chrome account IS your google account' They are quite right. Google created an identifier that makes email as an id obsolete, and its called GAIA_ID. You can google it. Basically all of their services are keyed off on their universal gmail gaia_id but they planned on using this even beyond gmail but as a 'universal identifier' to track everyone on every service that interacts with google, such as tying the gaia_id to the apple id, facebook id

You guys really don't get it do you? Google is oceania, it's five eyes / cia-nato and they wanted to have a 'global identifier' to identify everyone on the planet. If they haven't already achieved it (likely they have) then it's something they're aiming for.

google is a technofascist information monopoly, and given that they've been cenosring people politically on youtube by demonetizing and deplatforming them, that should give you pause, in case your opinons 'just so happen to evolve with new information that disagrees with the reigning silicon valley biased cult of opinion called 'the establishment''

sorry I went political here, but software is becoming VERY political. Things in firefox break more and more every day, forcing you to use chrome. FF widevine support breaks all the time, oops there goes NETFLIX and HULU and AMAZON on your linux platform... this kind of thing. Google is widevine, so you better be politically aligned with google or else....no DRM check for you, no video for your customers

Only on Hacker News is the fact that a database has a primary key for user accounts evidence of a global conspiracy against humanity. Here's some bad news for you: literally every company with a website and user accounts has the same scheme.
