ASK HN: Google account disabled. Oh what to do?
sown: This is the sort of thing I worry about cloud services...it's not that I don't already do this at home on some level with an ISP but what kind of freedom (if you pardon the use of that term) in computing do we have if Google/Amazon/MS just decides to not care for me on that particular day? Or they get (easily) convinced that I may have committed some kind of a crime (they don't even have to know what now days in the US).Sure they care if they do this to a lot of their customers all at once because of some kind of hardware failure or outage...but there's the uncertainty of their customer service. They already have my money do they really have to care or just kinda sorta care?You can throw around words about free markets and choice all you want but once they got your money they cease to care. See cell phone companies.I still don't like it.
