Re: Maybe Google won't tell him why his app was "in violation"
I would hazard a guess they do. Faking clicks for add revenue is taken poorly. The developer or a competitor ran through some paid for clicks and bam... banned.
At least very likely. As much so ad the ai just being completely broken and Google trusting it anyhow.
Hard to know either way. But who really thinks Google cannot announce "it was malware/advertising/app duplication/copyright infringement " because of security concerns? Nope. Saying "we cannot say" leaves a broken system or a coverup.
