Google bans user from Gemini, AI Studio and Search after repeated safety-filter flags
immellocker · reddit · 2026-10-28
A Reddit user reports their first Google restriction: their account was internally flagged three times (June 30, October 3, October 19) for "overriding or circumventing abuse protections or safety filters," leading to a global restriction of Gemini, AI Studio and Search. Their appeal was denied, with Google stating it will reconsider only once more. The user deleted all chats and Gems and pledged good behavior, asking what else could work. The post highlights how opaque Google's enforcement is: no specifics on what triggered the flags, internal-report-only detection, and a single appeal path.
