&gt; Why the hell is google allowed to lock you down<p>Google can do whatever they want with the <i>free</i> service they&#x27;re <i>giving away</i>.<p>Hell, even if they charged you for it, they&#x27;re still free to end the service for whatever reason they want.<p>&gt; from even receiving (not even talking about sending) emails<p>It&#x27;s not like receiving is free for them or even cheaper for them than sending.<p>It&#x27;s interesting how it&#x27;s common to think that the services that Google gives away are some kind of public service, that they&#x27;re somehow obligated to provide, as if they were paid for by taxes or something.
