I think I agree with you, but I will say I don’t envy Google’s position on this one. They have massive amounts of fraud and spam to contend with. Coming up with a system that allows them to retain legit uses but prevents them from shutting down naughty people doesn’t sound good. There need to be a mechanism that allows account recovery in a way that is actually sustainable.

- R0b0t1 5y agoSeems reasonable to make Google liable for your damages. They've incentivizing people to use their store, and then pulling the rug out from under them. Similar logic has already been applied in the US for e.g. rapes that occur on a business' property. If they're incentivizing you to come their, they are liable for bad thing that happen to you.

- R0b0t1 5y agoWell, Google is trying to get you to pay for it by putting you at risk of account suspension via poor policies. If Google wants to neutralize spammers that's their business. The law doesn't have to stop them. But causing severe financial harm to your business partners with no recourse is something the law should care about and stop.
