At its scale, Google probably uses various automated signals and AI to ban accounts and by mistake can easily close yours. I was already slowly &ldquo;de-googling&rdquo; things, but this incident made it a higher priority all of a sudden. You see, I don&rsquo;t want to lose access to my files or emails because of some blackbox automated process. There are many tools that I ditched in the last month: Drive and Photos are the main ones. Last week I also stopped using Google search too.</p>
