GILLESPIE
Offer to settle lawsuit with Google

STATE OF FLORlDA )
) SS.:
COUNTY OF MARION )

BEFORE ME, this day personally appeared NEIL J. GILLESPIE, who upon oath deposes
upon personal knowledge and states:

1. I am over the age of eighteen and competent to testify as to the facts and matters set
forth below. I make this affidavit upon personal knowledge unless otherwise expressly stated.

2. On February 29, 2024 I received a phone call in my office at 4:00 PM at 352-581-2600

from attorney Damon J. Whitaker, of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. Mr. Whitaker called me
as co-counsel for ALPHABET INC, and GOOGLE LLC, in my replevin lawsuit to recover my
Google account neilgillespie@mfi.net, case no. 5:24-cv-0010l, USDC, MDFL, Ocala Div.,
removed from the Marion County Florida Circuit Court, case no. 2024-CA-0209.

3. I told Mr. Whitaker we could settle this case if Google would allow me to login to my
account using the correct email address and correct password. Mr. Whitaker declined my offer.

4. Mr. Whitaker said Google has security protocols in place that they follow and Google
cannot confirm that I own my Google Account neilgillespie@mfi.net because I no longer have
the phone number (352-615-3819) associated with my account.

5. Mr. Whitaker acknowledged my written con'espondence with Google to resolve this

issue. Google did not respond to my written correspondence.

6. Mr. Whitaker asked me in had contacted Google customer service. I responded that
Google does not have customer service.

7. Mr. Whitaker asked if I went through the process to indicate that I don't have the phone
anymore. I responded that I did so. Also, see the Complaint for Replevin, pages 13-16 and
exhibits 15-20; and see my Verified Motion for Writ of Replevin, filed in the Florida court on
February 8,2024, exhibits 1-4, and the Affidavit of Neil J. Gillespie May 12,2022 about my
phone number (352-615-3819) associated with my Google Account neilgillespie@mfi.net.

8. I asked Mr. Whitaker to provide me a contact for customer service. He responded, there
are processes in place to keep things updated and to then get access through the security
protocol.

9. I responded there is no customer service to call, and the security protocol, as stated in my
Complaint for Replevin, is ultimately a "rabbit hole" of futile suggestions. Complaint, page 16:

The only option Google provides is a link, "More tips to recover your account". In regard
to the Plaintiffs Google Account neilgillespie@mfi.net, the link is ultimately a "rabbit
hole" of futile suggestions.

10. I reiterated Google does not have customer service, that a number of YouTube users have
grievances with Google, and its time someone took a stand, that Google is like an omnipresent
government, a world government, with a compete disregard for people. I reminded Mr. Whitaker
of an advertisement suggesting Google will be watching you as an omnipresent government. See
the DuckDuckGo "Watching You" TV advertisement, with their version of "Every Breath You
Take" by The Police": "Every search you make, every click you take, every move you make,
every step you take, I'll be watching you". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v553XndeczI

II. I also expressed to Mr. Whitaker that Google is unreasonable for its refusal to give me
access to my Google Account with a valid email address and valid password, requiring a lawsuit
that may last years, and that I am prepared to do so: It's David against Goliath, I told him.

12. Mr. Whitaker said he would pass my comments on to his contacts for a response.

FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.
