Google's the puritans of the web. If you have an association with them then you must live under their strict rules.

That said, I think something has changed. I'm not sure why it is, but they have become more prudish in recent years. Is it a generation thing? A change sent down from their corporate clients? Pressure groups? Perhaps more government influence? All of the above?

A programmer we hired had a banned personal android dev account. He used multi-login to login to corporate account and personal account.

Google tied both together and brought our startup down wiping out adsense, youtube, docs and play account. They kept adwords alive billing for $200 a month for almost an year.

I emailed them and the silence was deafening.

Too cold Google. Too cold.

I've been thinking lately that SAAS may have been a spectacularly bad idea. If google banned my account they could do a tremendous amount of damage.
