I few weeks ago I saw two with 50k each...

Google has to step up it's game because their platforms aren't safe anymore.

That's like blaming the post office for chain letters.

Not really, the post office would actually do something if you said "this person is sending scams through your system". They'd do a lot more if 100 people walked in saying the same.

Google does nothing despite thousands of people reporting it.

It's bizarre how they ban completely innocuous stuff and allow the blatant scams to continue despite it being drawn to their attention though reports and twitter constantly?
