This is a good reminder. Many people don't realise if any one of Google's services ban you it takes down your Google account at the same time (GMail, Drive, Docs etc), it doesn't just block that single service where the alleged violation occurred.
- judge2020 6y agoIt depends, but generally yes. YouTube DMCA strikes, for example, are known to only nuke your YT channel(s) and the rest of Google still works[0] (although this page does say your entire account is subject to termination[1]). Getting banned from the other services is much harder, of course. 0: https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/respond-to-copyright-takedowns_copyright-strikes-basics_list https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/respond-to-co... 1: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000?hl=en#strikes:~:text=If%20you%20get%203%20copyright%20strikes%3A https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000?hl=en#stri...
- tenpies 6y ago> Getting banned from the other services is much harder, of course. Is it? All it takes is someone at Google not liking what you're saying for Google to conveniently allow a bug to "accidentally" de-activate your account[1]. Google's slogan may as well be "self-censor or be censored".
