The second step only happens for a small select group of "things." There are myriad apps, people and organizations that Google has blindly banned with no recourse or reasonable appeal that we will never hear about.
The bigger point is the system is clearly broken, but how in the world can you fix it?
- ddtaylor 5y agoThe problem is really just a matter of scale and the unwillingness of Google to sacrifice any of it's margins. There are plenty of other companies that have many more humans in the chain where problems like these eventually get resolved once proper appeals are conducted or someone physically walks into a business and participates in whatever verification method is required. The idea that Google is somehow special is laughable. Compared to some other industries that are directly consumer facing the number of apps and developers is actually small. Also, they're not doing it without pay. They're taking a 30% cut from an industry approaching a trillion dollars in annual revenue. Again, the idea they can't solve this problem if they were willing to spend the money is absurd.
