The article and headline are pretty misleading imo, the ban seems like it's only for the free tier. Edit: Actually, it's not really clear.

I have wondered in the past what kind of monitoring / data harvesting google is doing with colab. I don't use them for anything nontrivial or work related precisely because I worry about google stealing my stuff or that I would be violating agreements with my customers by exposing their data to google. This story reinforces that they are snooping. That aside, I don't think I find this too upsetting. They don't let pe…
I tried using PaperSpace for a while but it works maybe 1 in 3 times I tried to use it, they (temporarily) banned me for no reason, they send me "itemized" bills with empty line items, and their support was no help.

Is there a good alternative to Colab you can just pay for, that's good for hobbyist individuals? Especially one that gives you shell access?

It is their right to ban any use they want. Colab is an awesome service, so much so that I seldom use my at-home GPU rig. As consumers we can use or not use platforms like Google, Twitter, etc. as we like, or not. Colab’s ban will be good for small 3rd party GPU cloud providers and that is a good thing. Same thing with Twitter: in the last month there is now better material on Mastodon.

Oh yeah, how?
Class action, violation of the Terms and Conditions. I'd honestly be shocked if Google/Microsoft are monitoring the clients of their public cloud and keeping the data to create their own products off of.

They do all the harvesting. Everything they can. Every morsel of data they can get, they get. Same thing Microsoft does with Windows, github and VSCode. Just hoovering up all the ideas you have.
if you can prove this you can make a lot of money
