I want to tell Google to eff off
I’m thinking of deleting my Google account. I’ve downloaded all my Gmail data. I know I have some services that use my old Gmail address. I need to think about how this might affect my interconnected system of Internet services that have dependencies on my Google account. Changing my email on services still using my Gmail is mostly trivial. I just have to remember/find out what all those services are. I can peruse through my Gmail archive that is mostly spam or unwanted email and see if there are any critical services I’d have to change my email address for. I figure going back about six months through my Gmail archive would suffice. Any entity that doesn’t contact me during a six month period likely doesn’t have any important tendrils attached, and I probably don’t want anything to do with them, either.
