Were you so harsh on self-entrepreneurs that came here crying out loud because Google did shut down their developer account for some unrelated payement error on a linked account?

I hope so because otherwise you are just discriminating people based on their wealth. But praise lord dollar that if you ever fall from your status you won't find pedantic guys like you when seeking for help.




There's a recurrent thread of posters blaming everybody else for having issues with the big companies, because big companies cannot make mistakes otherwise they wouldn't be "big", right.


To be fair to the commenter, the company implementing the system is to blame. I can understand why Google (or other businesses) would prioritize customers concerned about security over the homeless. One is a more profitable customer.

Does that make it right? No. Does that mean people won’t get hurt? No. Plenty of ink on HN has been spilt about how companies act according to a profit motive, and often not in societies best interest. Recognizing this doesn’t make you complicit.
