Pretty rough to not tell people what that 'very simple' thing is, and how deactivating their account through a terms of use violation is 'for the protection of users'.

I think with great trust comes great responsibility, and Google is eroding this trust, as shown in this thread, with kafkaesque processes around account termination.

I doubt it's one simple thing but any number of simple things and they can't tell you for the fact that they like their job.

Yes, I happen to like my job, so won't comment on specifics =).

However, as a general principal, I've found that Google has very robust protections to protect users from both themselves, and from malicious outside forces.

(Disclaimer: I work for Google).
