So a convenient blah blah blah about all the nice things you can doto avoid Google's brainless algorithmic wrath, but which may simply not work anyhow because even by following all rules in good faith, you still get banned one day, as has happened to many, many people with zero recourse.

Yes, exactly. So, this is a huge security gap.

As an attacker, instead of DDoSing a service we could just upload a bunch of NSFW text so Google kills their infra for us.

Other providers, like OpenAI, at least provide a free moderation API. Google has a moderation API, that after the free 50k requests it is more expensive than Gemini 1.5 flash (Moderation API costs $0.0005/100 characters vs Gemini 1.5 flash $0.000001875/100 characters).
