I've read too many stories of people and companies being temporarily (and possibly permanently) incorrectly flagged/banned from Google (by some algorithm).

If your business depends on Google, you are taking serious risk. Even if you have a contact within Google who can champion your case, a loss of your Google services could end your business.



I wouldn't worry about this. Any examples?


I got my old google account banned when I enabled adsense (and did absolutely nothing with it). They blocked me from random number of their services so that account became unusable. And I dis nothing wrong. And no way for appeal.


idk what I was thinking with my comment above! I think it was misplaced.

It's really sad that Google and other big corps do this to people. They destroy their livelihoods on a whim. We really have to think of a way to divest ourselves from them (GCloud, AWS, I;m looking at you too)


Why, so you can quarrel with each one and dissemble at every turn? Everyone knows what GP is talking about. If you don’t think it’s a risk, then enjoy!
