After drilling down into these posts it's very common to find those developers stealing user data, using forbidden advertising techniques, infringing copyright or simply trying to scam around Google's 30% payment cut. Apple would kick them off the App store immediately as well (and even tell them directly that running to media won't help).

If anything, Google is finally starting to clamp down on malware and developers abusing user data.

If we stipulate that you are totally correct (which I sincerely hope you are), what about the effect that permanent blacklisting can have on an individual's life? And if somebody gets banned, apparently now they must become "unclean" and be kept far away lest they "infect" the company.
I wonder which is harder/takes longer, starting a new business after a SEC violation, or some othe serious misdoing, or getting back on the Play Store.
I find that problematic and Google should do better.
Which one was it in this case ?
