Hundreds of Google accounts suspended for using emoji in live chat
- Mirioron 7y agoThe crazy part to me was that even the appeals got denied. If even their appeals process is this messed up, then can you trust them with anything? I remember that back in university lots of group projects were done in Google Docs. Something like this could've easily affected us negatively.
- zozbot234 7y agoWasn't the suspension actually for "spamming" emojis in live chat? Still bad, don't get me wrong - no one should lose their account over such a triviality. But since "spamming" was involved, one can at least make a colorable case that the suspension is justified.
- LegitShady 7y agoNo.
- gus_massa 7y agoIn some livestream the host make the people in the chat vote. Something like: Should I drink tea or coffee? And the people vote posting, sometimes text, sometimes emojis, ... So it's the expected behavior in the livestream community.
- aritmo 7y agoImagine having this happen to you when the YouTube channel was some unknown content creator! You would get your Google account banned and no way to get visibility by the Google team.
- unlimit 7y agoI have been thinking of signing up for gcp. Should I be worried that google could block me from gcp for doing something unrelated in one of my google accounts?
