That makes me wonder if Google has a whitelist of accounts, never to ban unless via manual intervention. Kind of like how Trump was not banned for years from Twitter despite breaking their policies multiple times.
This way, Google can keep the general muck banned but the actual troublemakers or those capacity for such will stay up.
- cube00 5y agoConsidering they don't even whitelist their own critical internal services I doubt it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25472455 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25472455 However I wouldn't be surprised as part of the profile they build on each user that there isn't some kind of influence metric they can use to work who the high profile people are. It could even be as simple as watching the inbox for when the "high profile verified social tick approved" emails arrive.
