It should be an opensource project that people can run themselves on node or linux or whatever. They are logging in via Oauth, pulling all emails from gmail, scanning them for some keywords/patterns and then submitting removal requests to those services. It be perfect for a standalone opensource project, all someone needs to run it is their google oauth key from developer dashboard.

Otherwise we have to trust "someone" whoever it is that designed this service to not keep all the emails they pulled out of your account for processing for whatever nefarious purposes one can imagine.

I mean if I ever wanted to mass harvest peoples inboxes then this is exactly how I would approach it and hope most people just click "next" > "next" on the permissions warning that google shows, which most people would.

Revenue website here in Ireland does this, you need to have a cert which is read by a java applet, cert is issued after you use a one time password mailed to your home from what i remember, they expire every so often and need to be renewed.

One of the banking sites did as well but dropped it, now my gmail is more secure than my bank account since there is no 2fa on this bank.

The java applet approach must cause endless customer support requests

A majority wont care since it has nothing to do with Britain got Talent or Goglebox

A minority will be pushed to use proxies and vpn's which will flag them for closer examination

Everything is going according to plan so...

Come to Ireland and leave the motorway network for our country roads, we pass within inches of bushes on one side and cars on other at 80 to 100km/h while being blinded by idiots misusing fog lights and reflections of perpetualy wet roads. These "roads" resemble twisty tunnels thru trees :D

"They" probably have dirt on him

The thing about living in a surveillance society is how good people can be silenced via blackmail.

I tried to use Uber, but it asked me on registration to provide paypal details

Since I do not have Paypal due to being banned (they never told me why) that was that...

Ireland, 4 bed detached, solar water heater which works well for about 4 months of year, oil heating + wood/turf stove for rest of time. No need for air conditioning here but heat recovery thingie is on all time.

5000kWh last year, tho I have computer(s) on 24x7 due to home office, Comes to about 120€/month

Half of all the bills are just standing charges, and renewable subsidies charges and taxes, and taxes on taxes. Hence adding LED lights, low power appliances etc did little to budge the bills
