Thought this was worth sharing given Stadia is out next week.
Markiplier did a live stream where he asked people to spam red or green emotes to decide what he would do in the game. Google's automated moderation did not like this, and permanently banned hundreds of google accounts, so they can't get their e-mails, can't sync their android photo's, and lost any subscriptions they had etc.
Some of them have gone through the process of trying of getting their bans reviewed, as it's clearly stupid, but the (presumed) humans who reviewed them have upheld the bans, this was two days ago. Today, google are still saying there is nothing they can do.
Can you imagine losing every single thing you "own" (sic) via your Google account because you posted an emoji in a live chat?
This is shockingly fucked up, and not the usual YouTuber clickbait drama.
