Can't verify this myself, but if true - this seems like part of a growing problem with big-tech, that everything is connected to one account, and as far as risk goes - you (the consumer) are putting all your eggs in one basket.

I understand WHY companies do this, with respect to spam accounts and what not, but the false positives for real human users can be devastating, when every service and product connected to your account gets blocked/bricked.

I remember some story about the Soviet Union. People whose records had been lost could end up completely shut out from the system. Can't get a job, housing, etc.
