Google is by far the worst for this. If you have an account and use it for everything, this can completely utterly decimate your online footprint. I don't know how they haven't faced class action lawsuits for this. It takes a little time, patience, and planning to remove the requirement for a google account from an android phone, but it's well worth it.

Simply put, don't depend on google for anything. Not just because they completely violate your privacy, but also because they simply don't care about you from a customer service point of view. Articles like this are great for teaching normies to avoid one-account-everywhere that google wants people to implement.
