I just got my Moto G phone and called my service to activate it today. I haven't even made a call, a text, or surfed the web on it yet. I did hook it up to our household's wifi.
It keeps asking me to put in my Google account info. I do have a Google account, but not because I even wanted one. I've had a Youtube account for ages and then one day it pestered me to make a Google account to link it to. It's not in my real name because I don't want my real name linked to my Youtube videos. Never did. Never wanted any kind of Google account at all.
I'm wondering if I should make a new Google account in my real name or not. What's it for? Why does this phone want my Google account info? Are there privacy issues I should know about?
