I have to guess at what that means, but I suspect this is an
unacceptable problem.  I think the dependence on Google needs to be
eliminated entirely before we can have this in GNU.  Most Google
services require the user to run nonfree software -- does this?  For
moral reasons we can't recommend that people run that.

Also, the conditions for a Google account are unacceptable.  For
moral reasons we can't recommend that people make those accounts.
