I find that very worryingly vague. In my reading though, that only applies to YouTube itself ("the Service"). It seems to be saying that your Google account can lose access to YouTube, not that you can lose access to your Google account.
- falcolas 7y agoIt's recently been proven that the two are one in the same (look up the "Markplier YouTube Ban").

- mcv 7y agoWow. That is some heavy-handed, misguided "justice" there. Banning people's Google (including GMail) accounts, even rejecting appeals, only for using emotes the way it was requested and encouraged by the streamer they were commenting on. The thing that was apparently against unspoken Youtube policy here was this kind of interactive, emote-driven streaming. But I get the impression Markiplier didn't get banned, only their fans. It's bizarre and alarming.
- zyx321 7y agoMaybe, but maybe not. There was another recent YouTube controversy where dozens of people were banned from all google services (including Gmail) for spamming on a gaming livestream chat (which is considered perfectly acceptable behavior by most streamers).
- tylerl 7y agoLosing access to ALL Google services happens because of abuse signals. I don't know of any other instances where global bans happen.
- zyx321 7y agoAbuse signals, as determined by a machine learning system that is a complete mystery to even its creators. But that's beside the point. Losing the ability to receive email is not something that should ever happen under any circumstances.
