The post only says "An author lost access to her explicit writing", which sound to me that she cannot access that document anymore, not her account got suspended (I skimmed over comments and didn't see people said otherwise). Of course in this particular case, it might be worse (because she lost her entire writing if without backup), but it's not the same as losing an account. Anyway, it won't surprise me if she did also lose the account. In my experience, any shared documents or files (for Google Drive) are always very strictly moderated.

The Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/sloan_spencer_author/p/C48JN_TrvxO https://www.instagram.com/sloan_spencer_author/p/C48JN_TrvxO) states: > one romance author explain that all her work was suspended by Google [...] She has no access to these files or her other works That would seem like an account suspension, not just one document. Edit: I guess it might also be a Google Drive/Docs specific suspension, rather than Google-wide.

  I don't think Google does per-service suspensions, except for Google pay/adwords/adsense/YouTube.

    I'm not sure if the author is in Europe but DMA lead to Google offering services separately[1]. The services are: Search, YouTube, Ad services, Google Play, Chrome, Google Shopping, Google Maps. I think Workspace (Mail, Docs, Drive, ...) are still a single service. If I remember correctly DMA or another recent law targeting gatekeepers also requires suspension to be followed with a way to appeal, proper justification and to only suspend "one service" (you don't loose your Mail if you get Youtube strikes).

      I think thats data sharing, not the enabling/disabling of services.

  > I've since backed everything up to my computer and filed an appeal > After processing the appeal, a popup said my account was frozen pending review Sounds like Docs only prevented her from sharing her work. Until she filled for an appeal and her account was frozen, which is perhaps even stranger than suspending the account in the first place.

  >I guess it might also be a Google Drive/Docs specific suspension, Do they do that? I've only ever heard of people being entirely locked out of their Google account, not specific services.

    I'm not sure to be honest, but the other day I got a popup asking if Google Search could link their data about me with YouTube and some other Google services, so I'm assuming there is at least some isolation between the services. Not sure if that applies to suspensions though.

From the thread it sounds like they only took away their ability to share. They still have access to the account and everything on it.

  The last screenshot states her entire account was frozen and her work is not accessible.
