problems: 1. How exactly do propose a bill to limit a company in how they use their property and enforce use of that property by an end user? 2. Bad actors out number good actors with honest accidents at over 1 million to one and obviously disclosing gives unequal advantage to the bad actors and harms the one accident good actor.

> 1. How exactly do propose a bill to limit a company in how they use their property and enforce use of that property by an end user? Is this a trick question? The same way all the other bills have been written. Most service providers have laws limiting how they can use their property in providing services. Banks, hotels, nightclubs, stadiums, taxis, etc.

1. Isn't that the typical purpose of a law?

I feel like the answer to 1 is that it shouldn't be any more difficult than the GDPR. It's just asking for a publicly available reason and evidence for bans, not actually forbidding them?

I don't even care if this is hyperbole, an outrageous claim like this needs a source. You're telling me that over 99.9999% of these issues are caused by bad actors?

2. Citation needed. "1 million to one" does not even pass the laugh test, not if it's measured in any meaningful way. And the actual numbers would matter... if they were available... which they are not...

In this case, this is the exact reason why Google charges for the creation of a developer account. Having them put the money towards manual review before termination sounds extremely sensible. Especially in this case, where it sounds like the apps were selling, and Google took a cut of that the entire time; it's not like they refunded it when they decided they didn't like that business anymore.
