- heavenlyblue 7y agowhen was the last time Gmail banned someone for sending controversial e-mails from their platform?
- xenophonf 7y agoHow would anyone know? I keep seeing HN posts of people losing their Google accounts for some unspecified ToS violation (that is, if they can get any information about their ban from Google at all).
- heavenlyblue 7y agoNo one ever reported that by the way. With their massive user base it would have already happened at least once especially in the light of all of these scandals of lack of platform neutrality. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube but never Gmail.
- eindiran 7y agoWhat are you talking about? People constantly report their Google accounts being banned, very often for things they did in their emails. It seems impossible to me that you've never heard of someone being banned by Google because of something they sent with their Gmail account. Usually Google reports it as an unspecified ToS violation, but that doesn't mean it wasn't related to things they did in "private" correspondence via email.
- ViViDboarder 7y ago> very often for things they did in their emails. Do you have an example? I don’t recall ever seeing that. I’ve seen mostly for other services.
- londons_explore 7y agoI believe it has been many years since any Google employee has looked into a Gmail accounts message contents without prior permission from the account holder.
- haggy 7y ago"Privately" and "by email" are directly in conflict with each other as well.
- franga2000 7y agoIf you're referring to the fact email is usually not encrypted / verified, that is clearly not what OP was referring to by "privately". Email is in general a "private" (as opposed to "public") means of communication.
