That‘s the point where Google tells you they won’t tell you the exact reason because of security reasons
Exactly this, which is the problem with all modern accounts. No person to talk to so you can understand what happened and maybe fix it.

#62It would seem that Google's counsel has deemed that whenever _____ is detected, the company must immediately and completely sever the business relationship. What is that driving concern? Is it sanctions enforcement? CSAM? Something else?

#63The interesting and yet-to-be-explained part is why google flagged the account? Put all the timestamps you want in the post mortem about what you observed, but you haven't addressed the root cause. The "this doesn't make sense" part of the story likely has a real explanation that nobody wants to reveal yet.

Giving reasons is putting accountability on Google and they don't want that.

Shouldn't Google answer this if they are unhappy with this incident report? Are we even sure that Railway knows?

#65"Finally, we are in planning to remove Google Cloud services from our data plane’s hot path, and keeping them only for secondary/failover." That's pretty clear. Google can no longer be trusted as a B2B service provider.
Meta is no different. I know a company that had their OAuth app on Meta rendered completely unusable just because one of their employees (a dev) had their personal Facebook account banned by Meta for no reason. They tried to escalate it multiple times but got nowhere, lol. Meta is even worse because accounts need to be 'personal'; if you have a Business Manager, the users added to it are all tied to their personal Me…

They need to tell Railway and Railway needs to tell us, or Railway can tell us that Google is refusing to tell them.
Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.

#69I've been getting serious, recently, about moving all my workloads to equipment that I control in datacenters with which I have professional relationships. It's less expensive, easier, and this kind of nonsense doesn't happen. These cloud providers need to step back and observe how terrible they've made these products. Footguns everywhere, pricing that is impossible to forecast or reason about, broken APIs, and autom…
