That total lack of accountability really, really sucks. If I'm a domain registrar and my DNS servers go down, I'm liable for damages. Same if I am a hoster. Or, to stay in the meatspace, when I am a railway/flight operator, I'm liable by law for delays.

Yet, if Facebook or Google decide to block, downrank etc. my business, I have no legal options at all, I don't even have any transparency. Everyone is at the mercy of the Cloud Gods. That has to change.

It does suck, but on the other hand spam is rampant and fighting it from overrunning your site necessarily means there will be some gray areas and false positives.

I agree 100%. I know they at least have to try to reduce spam. I only wish anybody would react on our error reports.

You pay for tickets.You pay your registrar. You don't have to pay for Google and Facebook .

As an advertising customer, yes I do pay them.
