Google Drive flags file only containing “1” for copyright infringement

I'd have more sympathy if it weren't "A review cannot be requested for this restriction." It's designed to be as brutal and draconian as possible. They chose this. It is guilty until proven innocent, with no recourse.

Sometimes I wonder if people will excuse anything Google does that hurts people and assume it is some sort of magic to not choose to do that.

That's what Goolag does for quite a long time already. Changed IP address? Goodbye mail. Know your password? Still no. Know your secret answer? They laugh at you. Out of options? Sucks to be you. We don't care if you're in a different country or having an emergency. Google is just plain evil.

"Guilty until proven innocent" implies the guilt presumption can be reversed by proving you're innocent.

I don't think this is the case here.

Nah, it's just "you're guilty, the end."
