Spinks noted that Google’s restrictions on his account had resulted in him losing access to thousands of dollars of Google Play apps, all of his Google Drive data, his YouTube channel, and his Gmail account and email address that he’d been using for over 15 years.

This is yet another example of when its on GOOGLE ANYTHING, THEY own it, and they don't give a shit about anyone using their service.

It's a great time to #DROP GOOGLE, before they delete your stuff too.

More companies should start supporting the Linux Phone concept, so that your phone apps belong to you and not google.

He must of been using Google while Caucasian. That's a instant ban and a felony after your third violation.

Terraria is a good game. It's a shame these big companies are deleting creators and their data like this

"Doing business with you is a liability."

I look forward to more and more people realizing this about Google and other companies with a similar MO.

if you have a successful business there's no reason why you wouldn't self-host all of these things. it's getting easier all the time
