The problem described in the post is that the user has a shadow, inaccessible disabled account that they can't do anything about, forever, and that's a problem.
>Isn't that just isomorphic to demanding Free Ban Evasion for All?
I think it would be isomorphic to Google implementing verification on account creation, thereby preventing this scenario from happening in the first place.

They straight up asked the kid if he was 18, and he lied and said "yes". I don't know what you want here, you want Google to... protect it's customers from their own fraud? Does any other industry do that? (full disclosure: I work there, but on open source firmware and know nothing about Adsense)
