Not necessarily, if your [email protected] and [email protected] Gmail accounts almost always access Google from the same Comcast IP address, from the same Wi-Fi BSSID, and awake/active at similar hours, Google could easily tell these two accounts are likely the same person.
AFAIK AdSense also tries to detect forms of click fraud where you ask people in your network to help you click ads, and I can only imagine they can do that because know who you have e-mailed before, whose phone contacts you have, and who you have had calendar events or Hangouts with before.
Banning apps with no recourse or appeal process, however, should really be illegal. They could easily bankrupt certain small businesses and livelihoods from their rash algorithmic decisions.
