>> 5X as many spam registrations on sourcehut are from gmail than from the second-largest offender. Wow, I'm looking at Google in new way now.

  I get what you feel, but on the flip side, if Google was even more aggressive at policing accounts and even hit 1-2 false positives, only for a scathing post to follow on a popular orange news aggregator, how is that a better situation?

    False positives are okay. Google gets scathing posts because they suck at customer service. Hire people to do customer service like everyone else does already!

      How does customer service detect a false positive as such any more than a machine can, without 1) enabling social engineering 2) damaging the privacy of unrelated users by snooping in their account?

        Customer service can offer a path of recourse for the false positive. If the AI understood how to deal with it it wouldn't have closed it and since nobody is there to explain the AI must have missed something you're just shit out of luck, birth certificate in hand your account was banned because you were underage.
