exactly. people are noticing it with google but its all tech companies where your only point of contact is an email address. paypal, uber, facebook, steam, etc etc -- they all deny service to innocent people on a regular basis with no recourse for them. it reminds me of pre social justice movement. isnt it the business' right to deny service to anyone they want to? like all black people? actually, no.

Recently, my Amazon payments account was banned from doing anything out of the blue. I called the customer service and they said they would forward my issue ot the correct people and I would receive a response on what was going on.

A day later, I receive an automated email stating that they were "unable to confirm my account information" and that "I will not be able to transact in the future". I was given absolutely zero info on why they were unable to verify me or any corrective actions I could take to fix it.

Email Bezos, they have a secret support team of actual humans who can make decisions instead of working from a script, and this is how you access it.

I got banned from a default sub in reddit for the reason "I didn't see that in the article". I replied to the mods with an explanation and a direct quote from teh article, and... nothing. They perma-banned me, and then blocked my account from messaging.

My comment was correct,

but even if it wasn't, it wasn't against the rules,

and even it if was against the rules, their own guidelines say you get a warning first,

and even then, the sitewide rules say that mods should hear appeals. But nah, forget all that. I'm just gone.

Steam is actually good at supporting for now.
