I went on holiday to Paris over two years ago and reviewed a number of places on Google Maps while there. I had a lovely experience and never left a negative review or did anything unusual on Google Maps.
I received an email a day after I got back home from Google saying one of my recent five-star reviews reviews had violated Google Maps policy. My account was disabled and I nearly had a heart attack when I lost access to Google Cloud Platform. I couldn't find a way to find out more or dispute it and ended up moving my business to AWS.
