For those being banned without explanation, can there not be any sort of legal action taken? IANAL, and I've not gone over their ToS with a fine toothed comb, but I can't believe they can essentially eliminate a primary source of income (for some people/businesses) without an explanation, especially when no ToS violation is known.
Wouldn't this almost be equivalent to being terminated from a job without reason (and isn't that also subject to legal action)?
- codr 13y agoRe: terminating a job, in many states employment can be legally terminated without reason (both by the employer and the employee). See "at will employment".
- nanidin 13y agoEven in cases where you are terminated for no reason, you have recourse for things like unemployment benefits if no valid reason can be provided in court.
- evan_ 13y agoIf I have a paper company, and you're my only customer, should it be illegal for you to drop me as a supplier? I don't think it should. I don't believe AdSense actually has contracts with any of their publishers but even that wouldn't make it illegal, just easier for the publisher to win a lawsuit. You can sue for any reason including this but it's expensive and unlikely to succeed because Google can pretty much out-lawyer anyone. The case would probably get thrown out immediately.
