When Google Cuts Off Access: Poland and the World

On September 1, 2026, Google disabled the author's Gmail account of 15 years, citing "spam" without identifying any specific messages, shortly after the author sent six complaint emails about Anthropic to 107 recipients. Despite multiple appeals, complaints to authorities, and attempts to contact Google directly, the company provided no explanation or resolution, while a bank resolved a similar dispute with Anthropic in 18 days. The author uses this incident to investigate whether this represents an isolated automated system error or a documented pattern of how Google handles account disputes, drawing on public records from Poland and globally.
