#2So, you can get away with blowing >$100k on adwords and nobody bats an eye (he was auto-billed), but on AWS I can't spin up more than a few elastic IPs or EBS volumes without going through verification hoops :)

I heard that you can owe money to Facebook as well. Recently a story broke out that a page got removed because they didn't pay 20k euros for advertisement. I had a paid ad once and got billed 2 months later...

#41. Get kids to open AdWords accounts for you
2. Spend 100k on each on affiliate marketing. Even a non optimized campaign on a good offer is still going to bring in 5 figures

#5In Austria, you are not contractually capable until you are 14, and from 14-18 you are so only in a limited fashion, as allowed by the assets available to you.
Probably Spain has similar laws (age of majority is 18 in Spain), making the whole AdWords contract invalid. So there would not have been any way for Google to get the money.
So this most likely wasn't anything 'charitable' done by Google, just the law.
Nothing to see here, move along...

Yes, but you have to be a teenager with very crappy videos about your music group. Probably with better quality videos or being over 18 wouldn't have the same consequences from Google.

They'd presumably be advertising your services though (not the kids website). Easier to establish fraud.
