<pre wrap="">In my view, it's clearly a governance issue to either decide that no
action should be taken to protect people from this kind of risks, or
to decide and implement measures to protect users of services like
Google's from this kind of loss of their valuable personal data and
online identity.
If you don't classify this as "an internet governance issue", what
kind of governance issue is it then?

For example, Consumers International is proposing that this sort of
