how many thousands of HN comments does it take for folks to finally get that the ONLY way to have any kind of personal representation in any kind of "Google shutoff" is that you pay for your email/cal/drive/etc via G Suite/Workplace. that's it. that is the ONLY way you can have any kind of "in" if you get randomly shut off by Google. you are paying for support and yes you can call that support and get some kind of answers. so many HN'ers are sore because their free legacy G Suite got shut off or got restricted somehow -- sure i get it, that sucks. but you weren't paying for it. you'd never rely on free accounts for company-critical infrastructure, so why would you do the same for your personal-critical stuff? while i do VERY MUCH sympathize with those whose entire lives were upended by their @gmail.com account being shut off effectively meaning _their entire life_ no longer being available to them, the best chance anyone has of being able to deal with a "personal Google shutdown" is actually to be paying money to them for [an/some] account[s] within G Suite/Google Workpace/whatever.
pay a vendor some money, get some kind of support.
while i am not saying if the baby penis doctor photo guy had a G Suite domain his life would be rosy right now, i am saying i think his situation would be a lot better had he been able to actually contact a real support department, something his free @gmail.com account did not afford him.
