Google has introduced a feature for collecting [user-provided data](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/14077171?hl=en&utm_id=ad){:target="_blank"}, which Segment doesn't support. If you’ve enabled this feature in your Google Analytics 4 account, it is irreversible and may cause issues with receiving data. If everything else is set up correctly but data is still not appearing, check if this feature is enabled. If it is, you’ll need to create a new GA4 space to resolve the issue.
