If you live in US/EU - use russian mail services, and vice versa.
Simple: russians don't care about american's lewd browsing / americans don't care what a russian guy do
I don't know about all Russian mail services, but while Yandex will let you create an account without a phone number, it will not actually send or receive email. I went through that before finding Proton Mail, and it was maddening. It doesn't actually
tell you it won't work, it just fails.

Anyway, fuck you google.
Imagine having an account you've had since puberty, that you used on and off, never making a single public comment or contact, then suddenly you need to input personal information to login.
And the bullshit of "This device isn't recognized". Yeah, sure, considering I've been using the same PC for three years and logging in frequently with it. Sure, that makes a lot sense.
Fuck you google.
It's not even like I need the account that much, it's the fact the system is blatantly lying in my face for reasons that are likely spying reasons.
It's probably because you used it sporadically that it happened. When you use it all the time, they know for sure it's you and don't do that to you. Also using a different browser on the same computer gets the "This device isn't recognized" message, even if it's the same type of browser. (For example using a second profile in Chrome will get that message when you try logging into Gmail.)
Not defending it, just explaining based on what I've seen from them in the past.
