If I ever become a life coach for small business owners, I don't know how I can recommend GSuite. Horror stories of "I've lost everything I had with them" are so plentiful I've stopped saving them. Seems like even Microsoft is not as bad.

What would Microsoft do in such a case? Unlikely to be any different.

  No idea, but at least Microsoft has some semblance of support where you can talk to a person.

  I have no context since the original post is deleted, but in general, it seems the supposed account of the son was not tied in any direct way to the other accounts... The solution is to use a true business-oriented provider and not an ad agency for one's file and email hosting.

The description by OP in comments like https://old.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/comments/1s92fql/my_son_pleasured_himself_in_front_of_gemini_live/odlduf9/ https://old.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/comments/1s92fql/my_s... seems to strongly imply that all the accounts were unconnected in a GSuite sense, and they are being slowly recursively banned by Google based on indirect connections like recovery emails or co-presence on a device. I don't see any reasonable way they could have saved themselves besides something crazy like requiring every family member use a different feudal lord - one person gets Google, one person gets Apple, one poor guy gets Microsoft...

  That detail is where I first paused and realize this story is more likely a creative writing exercise than a factual account They had a separate claim that after the bannings and after the son admitted what he did, they received an email confirming that the accounts were banned for “child protection” Received where? They just claimed all of their accounts were banned first, including linked recovery accounts. Also where is the text of that email? Communications like that are key to legal matters yet it was only shared as a passing comment
