So a spammer spammed and got his just deserts. Good.
100 emails to every 'media company' you can think of is textbook spam. No shit your account got banned, lol.
Really.
Pushing out tens of millions emails a day for years - no, that's creative.
Sending one email to a hundred media companies - a textbook spam.

No clue what kind of whataboutism you're trying to bring into the conversation here but it's irrelevant.
... Eeeeeesh. 99 media addresses, and I guarantee at least several of them probably smacked the "report spam" button to the massive email they've been CC'd on.
Someone from Apple here once told that they close millions of accounts daily. How many accounts does Google close? It's unfeasible to expect any company to do a human review at this scale.
Not that I like it, but that's the way it is.
Oh it absolutely is. Yes it would cost money, as do other tasks a company has at hands.
Also, he is adamant that re-instating his gmail account is like his birth right and at the same time has a lot of examples of how different countries fined Google/Alphabet and saying it’s evil, which is irrelevant to his spamming issue.
What do I care about your problems with Anthropic? It's not even a good comparison because apparently the bank did everything.
What does it matter who owns how many shares of Google in Poland, or who used to be in charge of it? What does it matter that she apparently is in the "Forbes 50 after 50 list"??
Why randomly insult Ireland? ".. and the Irish company replies at an Irish company’s pace, if at all."
Why describe in intricate detail how European laws are (going to be) implemented in Poland? And how the President can (and did) veto their implementation??
Having skimmed the last half of the post, I ultimately see this as fundamentally righteous, but obsessive and borderline autistic crusade against big corpo. Plus, sending 100 mails in four minutes is extreme. 99 media addresses? I don't think I'd even find that many media organizations that care about someone getting their Google account blocked.

At least this person is suing Google for it. Under EU law, they might actually win.
But why is the article AI-written? That is not helping your case.

Can you share what the tells are?
I am not seeing obvious tells. And I see multiple tells that clearly are NOT AI, like imperfect sentence structure.
It seems information dense, and doesn't seem like an obviously shit article?
If you're going to complain, can you explain what you're complaining about?

Or the "in brief" at the top, which is spamming numbers as though they add dramatic tension. Or, just like, every. fucking. sentence. You know, years of reading this shit can't be distilled into a comment. Have you not been reading articles for the last three years? LLMs have very distinct voices.

Moral of the story is not simply "don't use free accounts". His account was not free, he had a paid Google Workspace. The moral of the story Google and other big American corporations are absolutely unaccountable in Europe. We should stop using their services and switch to our European sovereign service providers. Big American corporations can block even business accounts as they please and ignore European laws and courts.

So what? They will ignore the decision of the court, just like the author explains they did.
