Yep

This also extends to other products. Don't use your personal Gmail to do 'TOS violating' things. Better yet, separate it as much a possible with different devices, VPNs, etc.

Losing your primary email will SUCK

I don’t think it’s fair to lay blame on the consumers here, this is big tech acting as monopolies and should be prosecuted as such.

I don't think anyone here is blaming the users, the comments are saying they shouldn't be surprised.

Users blatantly violate TOS > company bans account > shocked Pikachu face

I agree with the above commenter that they should have expected this. I remember watching SnazzyLabs video about Beeper when it was about to come out, and the video essentially said 'people have been doing this for awhile, I don't think Apple will care about Beeper' and I thought oh yes they will.

Do I think Apple is in the right here? No. Am I surprised they're taking this action? Also no.

i dunno why not create a new colour for rcs

yet whenever the EU smacks down on Apple for being monopolistic assholes the fanbois come crawling out of their holes and start crying about how they liked their shitty walled garden and that now everything will go to hell because someone is forcing Apple to do reasonable things. (See USB C mandate, see DMA discussion about the AppStore)

Buy your own domain and point it to an email provider. You'll essentiolly never lose your address
