Are you saying that Google banned the whole organization based on the association of one employee with a banned account? And they withheld your data with no recourse? Did you consult a lawyer?

It's a widespread issue:

Just curious, how can you even get a lawyer for issues like this? And in US it would all be a sham show (like the Zuckerberg senate hearing)

I was specifically asking about the business's organization being shut down because of an employee's unrelated banning.

It was a startup. I don't think they could afford it
