No idea if related to this 'online safety bill' or not,
Just logged into youtube (google account) to comment on a music video (I do this about once a month).
To keep my account safe, and for easier recovery in case it's hacked, they asked for an alternate email address and/or a phone number. (first time I've had this extra step)
Luckily I could skip that and was then presented with . . .
enter your home address - skipped that too, obviously
The thing is, are google just fishing for more data to sell on, or are they so worried about being able to keep my account secure that they need extra data for
when it gets hacked?
