Why? Google has quite a reputation for wrongfully banning people from things. This doesn't seem unusual for them at all.

- cratermoon 4y ago> Google has quite a reputation for wrongfully banning people from things. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
- wnoise 4y agoExtraordinary claims do. Ordinary claims only require ordinary evidence.
- jessaustin 4y agoThere's nothing "extraordinary" about that claim. All online service providers do this, Google especially, and everyone on the internet knows that.

- Beltalowda 4y agoNone of that bears any relation to what happens in the Go community. Google is not a monolithic entity. The Go team operates pretty much independently from gmail and other stuff. Yes, there is a problem with Google randomly disabling accounts, but this doesn't really extend to Go, who make their own decisions on who to ban or not, and which are all manual. Just as you can comment on, say, github.com/facebook/zstd without a Facebook account, you can also comment on github.com/golang/go without a Google account.
- msla 4y ago> Google is not a monolithic entity. It is, and claiming that a single corporate entity cannot manage itself isn't an excuse, it's an admission of further guilt.
