Thanks HN: Lessons learned after Google nearly killed my site
To be quite honest, this seems like a case of Libel and possibly Tortious Interference on behalf of Google&#x2F;Alphabet.<p>Especially if you can show damages&#x2F;customers cancelling service, I think this would be a hill to die on. Google et al have too much power, even over people and orgs that aren&#x27;t even customers. Its high time we reign their powers in, find them strongly culpable for what they do (and what they change and then refuse to do), and consider breaking up these monster companies up when they show they are against the public interest.<p>Were you, uploaderwin, given a notice prior (say to abuse@uploader.win , admin@uploader.win or other appropriate mails) to being effectively banned WRT google? I&#x27;d go on a limb and say you didnt. No, you have to be aware of the right page at Google, register you as an admin to the site, and hope they share what they consider abuse.<p>And frankly, you were lucky you got the social media escalation. You should have never had this happen... But here we are.
