alt Hacker NewsShouldn't Google answer this if they are unhappy with this incident report? Are we even sure that Railway knows?

They can't - that would violate the privacy rights of their customer.
They need to tell Railway and Railway needs to tell us, or Railway can tell us that Google is refusing to tell them.
Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.
The report at this point is pretty much just a timeline of what happened. No explanation of why, no accusations, no blame. A PR piece, to Railway's customers, reassuring them that "we're not ignoring this."
Now the lawyers are huddling. IMO there won't be a lot more said publicly by either side, at least until any threat of lawsuits for damages is settled.
the Railway PM doesn't say they weren't told. It just sort of glosses over this. I would be interested to know if they were told (or not).
I seriously doubt Railway knows. That's the MO for Google and others, suspend account without explanation.
