No, it doesn't need to be proportionate. They aren't the government. If you try to cheat me and I catch you, it is totally my right, totally reasonable, rational even, for me to decide I never want to do business of any sort with you again.

Sure, and it's totally reasonable, rational even, for other customers to see what Google is doing and react by choosing not to use their services. Nobody is saying Google overstepped their bounds legally; yes, they are totally allowed to choose who their customers are.

That said, if you as a company are going to completely destroy someone's online life over a single incident, then it's totally fair for others to be weary of using your services.
