This is not the first time someone has experienced this and written or generated an article on the Internet which made front-page HN. Nor is it the one hundred thousandth time this someone has experienced this and not written or generated an article, or had the article not reach front-page HN.

At least this person is suing Google for it. Under EU law, they might actually win.

But why is the article AI-written? That is not helping your case.

> why is the article AI-written?

Can you share what the tells are?

I am not seeing obvious tells. And I see multiple tells that clearly are NOT AI, like imperfect sentence structure.

It seems information dense, and doesn't seem like an obviously shit article?

If you're going to complain, can you explain what you're complaining about?

It's pretty blatant, but just have a glance at the subheadings to remove any doubt.

Examples?

At a certain point you need to develop your own media literacy. The article is literally dripping with Claudisms in every line.

I'd say it's totally immaterial how it was written

Probably not a native speaker.

It doesn't read as AI generated at all, it's got distinct Polish style. It could have been AI-reviewed, judging by the ugly Oxford commas.

Moral of the story is not simply "don't use free accounts". His account was not free, he had a paid Google Workspace. The moral of the story Google and other big American corporations are absolutely unaccountable in Europe. We should stop using their services and switch to our European sovereign service providers. Big American corporations can block even business accounts as they please and ignore European laws and courts.

So what? They will ignore the decision of the court, just like the author explains they did.

> The decision to close the account is made by the system, not the human

Someone from Apple here once told that they close millions of accounts daily. How many accounts does Google close? It's unfeasible to expect any company to do a human review at this scale.

Not that I like it, but that's the way it is.

Oh it absolutely is. Yes it would cost money, as do other tasks a company has at hands.

>That day I sent six complaints about Anthropic, the maker of Claude, to 107 recipients.

So a spammer spammed and got his just deserts. Good.

> On September 1, 2026, between 15:49 and 15:53, I sent six messages from my private Gmail account to a total of 107 different addresses: 99 media addresses, four public authorities, two Anthropic addresses, and two private addresses. They were complaints about Anthropic, the maker of the Claude assistant and Claude Code tool, which had disabled services I paid for and answered my complaints with a bot.

... Eeeeeesh. 99 media addresses, and I guarantee at least several of them probably smacked the "report spam" button to the massive email they've been CC'd on.

Legit I laughed so hard when I got to that point and closed the tab.

100 emails to every 'media company' you can think of is textbook spam. No shit your account got banned, lol.

> 100 emails to every 'media company' you can think of is textbook spam

Really.

Pushing out tens of millions emails a day for years - no, that's creative.

Sending one email to a hundred media companies - a textbook spam.

avazhi•37 minutes ago

Spamming is defined as sending a single message indiscriminately to a bunch of recipients. Old mate sent a single message indiscriminately to a bunch of media companies hoping to get publicity for his personal cause. Yeah, that's textbook spam.

> Pushing out tens of millions emails a day for years - no, that's creative.

No clue what kind of whataboutism you're trying to bring into the conversation here but it's irrelevant.

This is a short thesis saying you shouldn't use a personal email account for marketing, ad, or press campaigns. Doing so places that personal email account at risk of closure.

As far as I remember Google will ban all accounts associated with the one their "AI" finds "reason" to ban. So if you make a business account besides your personal, both will be banned.

applfanboysbgon•44 minutes ago

I'm not saying Google doesn't have too much power, but I'm also not saying it isn't hilarious to see someone let an OpenClaw instance go wild on their main e-mail account and rightfully get banned for spam.
