Stupid question: Isn't this clear-cut grounds for a defamation lawsuit?

Also, is it possible to have a class-action defamation lawsuit?

The fundamental issue that the author gomox is not stating clearly in his article is that there are no consequences to Google for their actions. None. Literally zero.

I don't think the best plan is to wait and hope for a government to step in and take action. Hope is not a strategy.

Complaining on public forums has similarly done nothing to curb Google's careless wielding of the ban-hammer.

So sue them. Cost them money. Punish them in a material way that they can't ignore.

I can't imagine anything else working...
