>"The company used automated tools to disable accounts that were found to breach their ToS, likely the majority of which were bots." In the US, there's a concept called right of first sale that protects people's ability to resell what they buy to others. Sales contracts preventing resale have lost many times in courts. From my perspective Google trying to prevent "scalping", as you put it, is already overreach, regardless of what verbiage they might have shoved in their TOS or the massive legal resources they can deploy to get their way. Furthermore deactivating someone's gmail without even letting them export their data is profoundly destructive on the victim's lives.
