Someone from your university tried to scrape data from Google. I know it's still not justified, but it's the easy solution that works for preventing DOS attacks.

>Someone from your university tried to scrape data from Google. Kinda wild that someone scraping google's data would prevent me from getting into my PAID (>90$/yr) Dropbox account. That experience is a big part of why I pay extra to host my host data on my own server now.

Yep, that's how the internet works now unfortunately.

Decentralization, hosting your own stuff, is great until you run into DDOS attacks and have to make maintaining your server a full time job. Sure you have the skills (or can acquire it), but do you have the time ?

Do you really think they won't make a hidden whitelist for their own domains?

There'd be no way to hide this. If 3rd party cookies are disabled it's trivial to observe if an embedded google.com iframe is sending my full google.com 1st party cookies in violation of the 3rd party cookie settings. There's no pinky promises involved, you can just check what it's sending with a MITM proxy. I'm sure they're doing other sketchy things but wouldn't make sense to lie in such a blindingly obvious way. (…

So like X-Client-Data which in many cases uniquely identified you but was, pinky promise, never used for tracking. Sent only to Google domains.

that would fall under "I'm sure they're doing other sketchy things".
