So when Google bans someone, that person also loses access to all services that require digital ID, forever?

I remember when a Youtuber asked live viewers to "vote" by typing emojis, and a whole bunch of viewers got their Google accounts banned for spamming[1]. Google is also famously averse to user support (understandable given the scale of their free services), so individual remedy is unlikely.

I can already see the new ransomware: "pay us or we'll send spam from your gmail and you'll lose your digital ID".
