CONTINUED...
Granted, businesses in general (location, etc) is available to the public, but owners of companies don't typically need to reveal their identities and/or contact info or address to the general public. Me providing my contact info through this form on the Google Ads website (I would think) almost guarantees that my contact info has now been distributed to whoever setup the issue.
I'm not trying to create a FUD story, I'm really just trying to write enough of the info (and my concerns) here so that if anyone from Google happens to read this they could look into the policies and procedures on the Google Ads side in order to look into the possibility of malicious intent on the part of internal users or a statistically significant uptick in the number of cases coming through like this. Technology has obviously become quite a politicized issue these days so I personally wouldn't rule out the idea that people within these companies with differing views could potentially leverage the power wielded by Google's systems in order to "take matters into their own hands" by blocking ads that they would prefer for Google NOT to distribute to its end users.
Personal details (by default) are likely blocked from customer service reps, but I'd be interested to know if you all (Google internally) are seeing an uptrend in unexplainable reports of the type I received so that lower level employees can obtain personally identifiable information of people they disagree with, or simply to block ads indefinitely from being distributed across Google's vast advertising network?
