You can't fire a user. You can kick them off your platform.

If I say come drink from my waterhose. At some point I dislike you and I say you can't drink here. You can't fire them.

If google disables your email you didn't get fired you were kicked off the platform.

Did you miss my quotations? I said "fire" in quotations, obviously not meant to be taken literally.

And it's not quite like that. It's if someone comes up to you and says "Hey I can get a bunch of people to come and drink from your water hose. If I get enough can you pay me?" And then they get arrested for murder and you think maybe they should stop.
