I don't know how Denmark did it but my school also made us use Google accounts but they created for it. Some kind of google education thing so they could manage and track us. Absolutely hated it but they never made us make our own google accounts.

@pineapplelover guess this will just make them sign up to services that don't share data to Google. 🤷
