Why have you done me wrong Google??

I wanted to formally apologize to any readers that I may have for being away from the blog for so long.  Recently Google shut down my Adsense account siting "Invalid activity" as the only reason.  No explanation, no remorse, and no chance for reinstatement.  I appealed this action and was simply told no, again with no reasoning or explanation.  Now, I didn't really make any money on this blog, nor am I a "for profit" writer, but it really offended me and made me swear off my blog for a time.  I mean, Google wants to protect the privacy of it's affiliates it says, but to punish innocent bloggers and then not explain why (not to mention after you appeal Google won't even read or consider future appeals) is just bullying!  Cyber bullying.  I thought about moving my blog altogether and even canceling my gmail account and google plus.  I mean, facebook would never do such a thing...Come on Google!  This is just unfair!

  3. Sadly, it only takes one bigot in a moderators position, or a few bigoted trolls wrongfully flagging a post to get it wrongfully categorised as violating 'Community Standards'.
    You are absolutely correct that Google (and YouTube) do not have an adequate process for getting wrongful restrictions removed from falsely flagged photos and videos.
    More than half of my 32 YouTube videos have been restricted, and 2 of them were removed entirely, with wrongful strikes palced on my account. I calculate that I lost millions of views.
    Fortunately you can still see and watch roughly half of them.
