Just logged into youtube (google account) to comment on a music video (I do this about once a month).

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?

Having an opinion das ist verboten
