- Comment on Romance author gets locked out of Google Docs for “inappropriate” content 5 months ago:
"Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate. There were no highlighted sections, no indicators of what had rendered her documents unshareable. Had one of her readers flagged the content without discussing it with her first? "
So much of her work could have broken the T&Cs that she can’t identify what it could be without highlights.
Original Wired article says later in it that Google thought she was spamming
Different author, but if that’s the case (and it seems this author shares files to over 80 people in one go) then it’s a spam filter issue? Again, non story.
The headline is a complete lie.

I think we read different articles:
This person was not allowed to SHARE the things written. That’s not a thought crime.

“Romance” is such a crap term! She was writing porn. Likely with minors. I’m involved with a lot of authors, some also write porn
open-door spice, and the only things that get Google bans (from what I’ve been told) are kiddie porn and extreme gore.While the dangers of handing your documents to Google can’t be overstated, don’t sympathise too much with this person.
