That sounds like a good way to ensure your access to every Google service gets permanently revoked.

Definitely scorched Earth style. There is precedent -- https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.seroundtable.com/amp/archiv...

That is so crazy. Sounds like Google really shot themselves in the foot on the PR front here. All over $700 USD.

If it was the only way to recover several thousand dollars that they stuck me with I'd absolutely do it, and make sure to do a couple orders magnitude more damage to them with widespread recommendation of AWS, Azure, Linode and basically anyone but Google. It'll catch up to them eventually.

Does that matter if every Google service is run like the one in the article? That sounds a bit like saying you'll ruin any potential friendship you could have if you fought back against a bully
