If vital services rely on email, email is a vital service

I'm saying that if the public/government doesn't feel like Google's security policies are compatible with the homeless, the simplest solution is to set up a government-run email host.

Sure, the government should.

But we should also expect Google to give a small crap about the troubles it's putting some of its users through, especially when this is so important to some of its most vulnerable users, and adding an option to disable 2FA is such a small feature for a Mega corporation.

umm you DO know that Gmail isn't only free email, right? Like, just use another one which doesn't force 2FA. Why is this become an issue? I don't get it
