Yeah, people loose their business because a kid is logged in on their iPad, gets their google account suspended, and google knows it's the same household as the parent, and everything gets shut down

Can't find this now but google did at least once disable company's accounts after dev got their account suspended.

And as we know from the recent Gemini ban wave, you can get suspended just because.

Everyone needs a defensible root of trust, this goes all the way down to the registrar you use for your domain.

> google knows it's the same household as the parent,

Nearly all these linkages are due to people sharing recovery email addresses and phone numbers. Don't do that.

    Are you honestly saying that a kid should not use their parent's email address as a recovery option? Seems like that would be the natural way to do it.

      I don’t know about you, but I have a family account that we use as an email recovery for kids.

      Adults have multiple emails so they won’t have to share it.

      If something takes out the family email account, that’s fine. The only thing going there regularly are school notices, contractor receipts and recovery emails.
