Absolutely. Governments everywhere are now pushing for online identification to access online resources. This is not a coincidence.

Google is - imho obviously - in contact with governments. You will need to reveal your verified, online identity in order to create a app. Even if you are just a hobbyist putting the app on your own phone.

1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a handbook.

>Google is - imho obviously - in contact with governments. anonymous data isnt worth anything near as much as personalised data.
