The entire thread is full of people jumping on the hate train, did anyone even stop to consider that Google is right on this? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?hl=en There are two points here: first, they claim to provide a reason for closing your account when you log in to your google account (not google service). The OP provided what looks like google service notification on his mobile, but could be on desktop (thanks to reply for noticing this). Second, after escalating the issue internally, decided to email (internally) people saying this is an attack on his family. He is also publicly looking for a job. This seems like a severe overreaction for a google account ban... I think there is reasonable doubt here to suspect something is wrong here more than "Google decided to arbitrarily ban a specific account among billions in order to target one of their employees."

Nobody is claiming that. Malice is not the issue here; the issue is the effect of having an account banned without recourse or transparency.

The OP is claiming that. It is the purpose of their most recent tweets.

What I'm saying is there shouldn't be outrage until we figure out that the OP isn't lying, which there seems like there is reasonable doubt for. Because for very evil circumstances I wouldn't expect there to be transparency either for legal reasons.

Are you sure? The image in the tweet linked seems to me like the login screen you get on desktop, not a mobile notification.

That's my bad. Because the gmail link later in the thread is very likely to be mobile, I assumed as the first screenshot was so centered that it was also mobile. But it could be on desktop, so I edited my response
