But the person you're replying to didn't use ad words! Someone stole his CC number and used adwords.


Alphabet doesn't care, as far as they are concerned, someone messed with their Holy Money Machine and doesn't deserve to exist.


Again, the "doesn't deserve to exist" refers clearly to a different entity than the paying customer who was punished for zero action of their own.


And again, Alphabet doesn't care =)

"This credit card messed with our money machine, it and everyone connected to it are now permanently blacklisted everywhere on our ecosystem."

They genuinely do not care who did what and whose number it was and who got hurt and whether it was used with or without permission. That CC tried to exploit the mighty money machine and that's it.
