She saw a chain email (i.e. forward this to 10 people!) and decided it would be fun to make up her own. Apparently it was successful enough to get somebody's attention.
Edit: To be clear, I would never blame them for wanting to stop a cascading explosion of emails. But I also wouldn't say it's impossible for a child to get an account banned.
- joshmn 10y agoMakes for a good story at least. Can't blame a kid for being curious on how stuff works.
- tn135 10y agoAnd why is that a problem ? Does it violate Google's policies in any way ?
- prawn 10y agoIt's a problem because Google banned the account. Doesn't matter if it's unclear about policy violation given they're the ones making the decision and providing limited opportunities for recourse.
- tn135 10y agoYeah I understood that part. I was only wondering if there is an explicit policy about sending chain emails.
- prawn 10y agoSorry, should've made it clear that I was making a separate point - that it doesn't matter either way when someone else can make a decision and limit follow up. It's long been a frustration for many with Google services.
- natch 10y agoFrom the TOS at the time: "5.4 You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services)."
- tn135 10y agoLooks pretty broad for me. I can't send email to friends inviting them to an even and asking them to invite their friends ?
