hi
I ... don't know what to say to this. My only question would be does
gnome online accounts transmit any info if you don't set it up? If it's
not used, doesn't it just sit on the hard drive? Of course if you set it
up, then it is probably going to connect to microsoft, google or
whoever's servers to download email and the like. Also, it's free as in
freedom software. I believe it's gplv3, although I might be wrong and
it's gplv2 or lgpl, but in either case it's open source. Could the
ability to add custom oAuth providers be added? If so, that would take
care of your complaint about having to rebuild it.
Thanks

You can remove those packages in all the other distributions, BUT NOT ON FEDORA.
Only Fedora can't handle it, the removal of the mentioned package would also remove gnome-shell.
This is oppression by design.
Since it is not possible to add custom OAuth providers to the Gnome Online Accounts GUI without rebuilding the source, I see no use for it personally. For me, it is spyware. I would never connect my machine to Google, Microsoft or any NSA outlets. No thank you.
