Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Google Domains, the third most popular domain registrar, is shutting down and selling its customer accounts to Squarespace. This move has raised concerns about the sale of personal information, seemingly contradicting Google's policy of not selling such data to third parties. The company's silence on the matter has allowed competitors to capitalize on the situation and has raised questions about the future of other Google services.
