Security / privacy heads up: It looks like Google is now publicly linking the phone number on Google Pixel phones (or at least Pixel 6 and up) to any Gmail/Google account you've logged into that phone with.

"Phone number verification is turned on by default. We verify the phone number and add them to all Google Accounts that are signed in on the device. This applies to both current and future accounts and phone numbers. "

I.e., if you write erotica, have an Only Fans, do sex work, etc., and you have logged into your alt email addresses on your phone, Google will now make your personal phone number "findable" for anyone who has that email address.

This will potentially adversely affect a lot of (vulnerable and/or marginalized) people.

Everyone has been opted into this by default (because who has heard of consent or security in tech circles grrr).

To opt out:

  1. On your phone, go to Settings, then next to your account name at the very top, go to "Google Services and Preferences".

  2. Under “Privacy & security,” select Phone number verification.

  3. Select whether to verify your phone number.

If you don't want your different identities linked and findable, make this change asap.

I hope that tech and especially infosec people and privacy advocates raise hell about this. (No one listens to the rest of us.)

*I don't work in tech, but I haven't seen tech people talk about this yet (from my limited Fedi vantage point).

Stay safe and keep your people safe.

Read more in the Google support pages.

You're welcome to boost or share this post, but if you see tech professionasl discuss it, I'd much rather you quote them, and if you discuss this outside of Fedi, please do not give me credit. I don't need reply guys coming at me, I just want to flag people on what might be a problem. Thanks for your understanding.

Every day I'm more flabbergasted by the last. I'm sure Google has good intentions with this lol. These comments are great though: "Perfect, now I can interact with adjacent to my family without ever actually talking to them." "Yes, give the billionaires extremely specific information about your children. I'm sure it's fine."

Help! I'm locked out of my Gmail account and forced into an app that merges Gmail with Gemini with no apparent options. This is on my desktop. On my Samsung phone I still get the old Gmail. What can I do to avoid Gemini? #Gmail #Gemini

The "main boss" of this poll is github! So #gmail and #github are the 2 toughest accounts to ever close. Interesting.

#swepost Det digitala samhället 😑 Min vän lyckades slänga sin mobili havet. Han behöver logga in på Hallon för att både beställa en ny mobil och ett nytt simkort. För att kunna logga in på Hallon så behöver han BankID (vilket ju inte går då telefonen ligger på havets botten). Ett andra alternativ är att logga in med engångskod som skickas till hans mejl (gmail). Men han kan inte logga in på sin mejl på min dator för att Google kräver att han godkänner på sin mobil, alternativt att de skickar ett SMS till hans nummer. Moment 22. Det går ju inte heller ringa till de här billighetsoperatörerna och prata med dem. Han hade en bankdosa som dels va slut på batteri och dels kommer han inte ihåg PIN till den. Hans gamla telefon är för gammal för att köra BankID. Så vi fick börja med att gå till banken idag och skaffa en ny bankdosa. Nästa steg är att han får låna en nyare telefon som kan köra BankID. Med bankdosan hoppas vi kunna få in BankID så han sen kan beställa både mobil och nytt simkort från Hallon. Men jag kom nyss på att ofta behöver man ju nu även pass eller nationellt-ID för att kunna få in BankID på en ny telefon och jag vet inte om han har något av det. #BankID #Hallon #Mobil #Moment22 #DetDigitalaSamhället #Problem #Gmail #Google
