On: Don't use third party auth to sign in

There does seem to be a need for Google to clarify their rules for "banning" an email used for sign-in.

It seems like things should be more granular, such that being banned on YouTube doesn't make your thermostat quit working, ruin your phone contacts/photos/etc, or cut you off from your unspent AdWords funds.

It's worse than that : considering the importance that YouTube has taken, for some people being banned from YouTube might be considered to be akin to be banned from exercising their profession, or even just be able to be a full-fledged citizen.

Next, consider what they were up to with Sidewalk Labs in Toronto before that project was 86ed.

"Google + Sidewalk: bring the dystopia of robo-support to the civil service!"

Or maybe

"Google + Sidewalk: Snowcrash was the blueprint, right?"
