Could you provide a little bit of detail about how you did that? Just in case…

Find google data protection officer email. State your request to get the data with a mention of escalation to the Irish Data Protection Officer if no action is taken within a reasonable timeframe.

This has magically unbanned me in less than two days. In contrast to two months of tweeting, emailing support, nagging my google eng friends and even support folks via linkedin.

Are you an Irish citizen? Or can anyone contact the Irish DPO because Google is “based” there for taxes or whatever? I’m wondering if I can use this as a US citizen.

Not an Irish citizen or a resident. Everyone residing in the EU(including EEA) enjoys GDPR protection.

I don't know how stringent the geo check for claims is, but as soon as you become an EEA resident you can invoke GDPR.

I would recommend to ask Google’s DPO anyway.
