#2Upvoting just because Google's (and Apple's) app store processes are so horrible, and this is probably the best way the case gets noticed by someone human in a normal timeframe (according to the post, they've been going through it for 2 months already).

#3My website just got blacklisted from Google because a non-existent URL got flagged for social engineering. I'm still trying to figure what to do.

#4In the discussion of the last article, there was a discussion about weaponizing "associated accounts" when Google shuts things down.
Looks like it's 100% a valid tactic.
Looks like you need to make sure your employees all leave on good terms, and stay on good terms in the coming years. Otherwise, you too might find your Google accounts terminated with no recourse.

#5Googles dumb machine learning is destroying peoples lives and will continue to do so for decades unless somebody stops them. They control most of the internet and mobile space, it’s like having your water cut off permanently

#7We need legislation forcing companies to manually review algorithmic decisions that impact people's lives - there has to be a proper appeals process.
It's simply not economical for many companies to deal with the long tail of false positives, so they don't. Google has billions of users, and if their algorithms are 99.999% right about bans, their metrics look great but that's still tens of thousands users wrongfully banned.

With how much our modern lives are dependent on services like Google's, they effectively become utilities and should be regulated as such.

#9We cannot continue to allow big tech to provide these walled gardens with zero recourse. It's turning slowly into a Gibson-esque dystopia as they continue to set the rules under the guise of contracts and EULAs with a shadow legal system.
If it needs to be more expensive to publish and buy apps, so be it. This is unsustainable.

Escalating to Google 2nd level support, ( a.k.a.: Hacker News ) is a starting point.
