Yeah. The title is a click bait. It looks like that most people didn't read past the title.

Anyway Google could actually lock her out if it wants to. That's why using cloud storage is a bad idea. If you're using it, at least make sure that you've got a local copy so that things like this won't happen.

Where does the article say she can no longer view her own file?

Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.

Google is a publisher?

So I can sue them if, for example, I read about how to do something dangerous and hurt myself? Or libel?

Interesting.

In 2012, Eugene Volokh argued on behalf of Google that it was indeed a publisher:
