I'm new to this idea and a Google girl so I'm interested in learning more. I'm not good with tech, but if it's necessary I'll do it as much as I can.

Yeah they might lose your account out of sheer incompetence, or because they can't be bothered to fix a mistake –why care when they are not accountable to anyone except shareholders.

There was that fun story of the guy who had the misfortune to take a picture of his son to send the doctor, which was flagged as cp and lost all his accounts, the police got involved, and even after the police cleared him Google refused to give him back his account...
