Not a lawyer.<p>My gut feel is Google writes their TOS that are concrete enough to be enforceable at some basic legal level, but vague enough to be a catch-all enforcement.<p>It&#x27;s crummy that Google is claiming that Routebuilder is violating their ToS, but not telling them <i>how</i> it&#x27;s violating or why they have deemed Routebuilder a violate of that specific ToS clause.<p>It definitely feels like large company bullying tactics, which are hard for small&#x2F;medium and independent companies to fight, without investing (read: wasting) money on legal fees.<p>This is less about &quot;oh if you don&#x27;t like the terms, build it yourself&quot; but rather the spirit of which Google was founded.<p>Facebook and Twitter have pulled this same nonsense as well: encourage all developers build their apps on top of their platforms, to help grow the active user base. Once they become critical mass&#x2F;gate keepers, swing the doorshut for all except those who are willing to do <i>everything</i> that they are asked of.<p>The kick in the balls is how Google built their organization on top of open-software, but now has adopted the same corporate policies that closed&#x2F;proprietary software vendors like MSFT have used.<p>&quot;Do no evil.&quot;
