It doesn't work that way, Karen. Or you think they should move their 300k+ SWEs to manually cipher through millions of blocked trash to find something that wasn't supposed to be suspended?

I'll take your "Karen" reference as a crude attempt to insult OP. Let me recycle your "argument": You think Google should hire "300k+" SWEs (in reality according to their public filings it's more like a 5th of that at best) to build and maintain millions of servers in a system that indexes billions of pieces of information on the open internet just so in a fraction of a second you can find a tired meme (and definitely NOT to find the actual number of SWEs Google has) to use in an inaccurate answer to a legitimate question, albeit irrelevant to the posted topic? But here they are doing it.

Alphabet is a trillion dollar company. The reason they're not fixing their customer support issues is that nobody is making them. They're not losing customers and they can just save the money. This doesn't make it OK or excusable. Certainly not with the "arguments" you brought.

I believe the 300k is referring to $300k, not the number of engineers.

I've been permalocked out of a Google account before. It's nothing to balk at. You are completely powerless.

Google doesn't have anywhere close to 300K SWEs. More like 50K.

Bezos would make his ppl do that until the problem is fixed.

Bro.

For now twitch is separate from Amazon. Can't wait till shitposting on twitch means you cant shop at whole foods anymore.

Yes.
