alt Hacker NewsI hope this page can provide some guidance in the appeal process https://transparency.google/intl/en-GB_in/tools-programs/rep...
If not directly through what is offered there, under the DSA (eu citizens and residents) have further ways to appeal their decision, and also Google takeout should be a last option even for banned accounts.
If you have any luck post a followup on HN to guide other users having a similar issue.

Or you can not waste your time and hire an attorney to send them a polite letter saying "put the account back or get sued."
I had a look at the link and became hopeful when I clicked on “Appeal a disabled account”, but then the page loaded and said this -
“”” Ask us to restore your account
If you own the account, you can request access to it again.
- Sign in to your Google Account on a browser, like Chrome. - Select Start Appeal. - Follow the instructions. “””
C’mon Google, if I could do step 1 then I wouldn’t be on this page.
I will absolutely post a guide if we can figure out a way out of this mess.
Appreciate you trying to help. I’ll do a bit more digging on that page and see if I can find anything.
