I wonder how long this will last until Google finds a way to prevent the migration out...
GDPR specifies the right to data-portability. In Europe services have to provide data in a machine readable, commonly used format for export.
And that's why I think the GDPR is one of the best things the EU has ever done.

Google SSO is the best option to login into my country's e-government portal. The other options are: - Bank (requires subscription) - SIM card (requires subscription) - National ID card (requires reader plus a maze of Java applets) All of them suck badly. At least national ID has NFC so technically in future can be a bit easier.
He appears to be in NZ. Yes, I find that crazy.
Many commentators mention e-mail here: I'm a conservative oldtimer with my own domain (since the Ninetees) and associated e-mail, of course. The problem is that it happens to me more and more often that especially with my business contacts in larger companies my e-mail is filtered out / ends up in their junk folders / disappears for other, unspecified reasons. Simple public black lists do not show anything. I am more…
My server is at Hetzner, and there are some blacklists which block Hetzner IPs by default. You have to contact them, explain that your server is not a spam server, and hope to get whitelisted. In my case, it worked. T-Online in Germany also blocked my IP as well, but they were amazingly quick to whitelist it after I send them an email. They apologized and explained that they also block mail from Hetzner IPs by default.
- HN every single time someone banned for political reasons on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc.
Most likely something like that happened here too.
Considering Reddit now bans people for upvoting the "wrong political ideas" I can see Google banning people for a Youtube like or comment. But they are a private company and they can do whatever they want!
Yeah I'm always worried about this. I have a paid Microsoft office 365 account with all my email and a lot of data on it. I backup my OneDrive regularly using an rsync-style tool. But the email is more difficult now that it's all in exchange format. I could use IMAP die the backup but Microsoft is going to block basic authentication soon.

I had a bit of an argument with a good guy who just couldn't understand why I wasn't willing to put all our new company's documents on Google. I convinced him (grudgingly) to use a setup much like this (we ended up with Box instead of Dropbox because I got sick of Dropbox trying to grab all my data). Seeing things from his perspective, I was amazed at how successful Google has been in convincing other businesses to t…
And if you are even on Office 365 Home account, you actually can interact with human support in case of issues.
Surely, you don't still have problems with it. Do you?
Self-hosted email seems to elicit conflicting reports of experiences - I think the takeaway I've seen cited most often is that it is incredibly difficult to get your emails delivered to users because you will be randomly blocked one day. I feel like there ought to be some kind of "let's encrypt for email" type solution to create trust but I'm not sure how it could be done.

Which country is this? Who uses Google SSO to login to a e-gov portal?
