All this whole thing did is ensure I never, ever use any google AI service. The fact that they didn't instantly comprehend what a total account ban means when they've got people with 20+ years worth of personal data in those accounts is incredibly concerning.

But there were no total account bans. If you got banned from antigravity you also got banned from the Gemini API.
Yes, but next time this might be different. Who knows, there are no rules. You ask Gemini about creating a new search engine which might compete with Google: is it fine? Is it a permaban of all your Google services? Let's put it on red and go for it!
Right. The point is that the anxiety around total account bans is realistic and has a historical basis.
