Not, Google, but I'm having sort of the same problem with Facebook. My church has a Facebook account that we used to set up our public page years ago. We assigned editors to the page, then promptly never used that account again. Fast forward to this year, and I need to add a new editor, which only the page admin can do. I reset the password on the church's facebook account (it was lost years ago), but when I log in, it says it doesn't recognize my location and it needs me to get codes from a list of trusted contacts (a list that I'm fairly certain we never set up). When any of those trusted contacts go to the page it lists, Facebook tells them they aren't trusted contacts. I have tried to get Facebook to respond to me in every single possible way. I have gone through all of their help pages, talked to their bot until it said it would forward my message to a human that could help, sent emails to every address I could find, reported the page and account on every form I could, hit up Meta on other social media, and even reached out to Oculus support and offered to buy a headset if I needed one for them to be able to help me get access back to the account. The only response I've gotten is from Oculus telling me they can't do anything. That's it. No other responses at all. I swear it would be easier to answer one of the 37 recruiters that have reached out to me, interviewed for a position, gotten hired, and then fixed it myself.
I understand you are saying this in good faith, but honestly this is bullshit. Is the only way to get a solution to use LinkedIn inmail to solve a login crisis?
There are plenty of FB engineers on this site alone. Are you all feeling okay with the work you’ve done?
Someone should sell VPN exit nodes next to BigTech offices so that people can exit their Tinder there and do the (3) connection approach without the drive.
If it would work, then 100% I would do it in a heartbeat. I posted on Blind looking for help, but just got snarky high-school level comments. Have you had experience reaching out via LinkedIn?
