What tablet mandates a Google account? I thought you could always go without, even on stock Android.
I found it unapologetic to get my account, which I then have used for years, cancelled without any explanation or sign of wrongdoing.
But what should I say. I didn't pay for it so it was well within Googles rights and discretion. At least this made me aware that such behaviour exists.
after 4.4 they dialled it back to instead of required now they only apply some seven dark patterns to try to trick users into thinking it is mandatory.
same effect to most users, zero regulatory consequences
