Received cryptic email from Google:

[Action Required] Remove internal links to the G Suite Domain Contact page for your organization

Then receive the same message from 5 of my clients wondering what it all means.

To most…it’ll mean diddly-squat. And it becomes just another panic-induced email designed to cause worry.
Yeah, such an asshole move.

For those that might be affected by Google’s decision…in my investigation of why this email is being sent out…well, it’s all Google’s fault anyway. They designed a system that very few used anyway.

From Google Cloud Support:
“The email refers to the deprecation of an outdated feature we had for you to submit feedback to us about your domain. Since we now have other means for you to submit that feedback (i.e. this support chat) we are removing the feature. We just emailed that in order to inform the customers that were using it, that it will be removed If you didn’t know it existed, you can just disregard the email.”

Well their reply is stupid. Plain and simple.
They state they emailed all those using it…no they emailed everyone. Everyone!

Could have been rephrased to…

If you or your users cannot remember using this type of link chances are you have never used it. Usually, this page would be used by companies who have a large number of staff members. It provides information regarding who to contact if something goes wrong with their G Suite user account.

So for most people…they can ignore the email.

For those that need to make changes…you’re probably saying to yourself or anyone around you …”Suck It Google!”
