This petition is to ask Google to reevaluate and revamp their AdSense policies. We would like them to review all accounts that have been disabled for indeterminate reasons. There are many people who have had their accounts disabled with no warning and with no real proof given of the offense that is supposed to have taken place. There is no chance given to fix any issues and there is absolutely no real customer service - just automated bots. The results are that money earned is taken away and the user is unable to work with AdSense ever again.
 
The first of Google's own philosophies is "Focus on the user and all else will follow." (reference: http://www.google.com/about/company/philosophy/).  However, their current policy of banning AdSense user accounts with no recourse for those users goes completely against that policy. Until they start to practice what they preach, they are both damaging the income streams and creativity of the communities they claim to care so for so deeply.  If Google refuses to change we can only expect they will slowly lose more and more people to sites like Patreon while others turn to programs like AdBlock to keep Google run sites from gaining money from ads.

At the root of this issue, and what Google truly needs to change, is the fact that an automated system determines the validity of ad clicks AND the disabling of AdSense accounts with NO warning messages and NO description of the activity which causes accounts to disable. On top of this, there is no way of contacting an actual human being in order to rectify any issues, or at least get a better explanation of what happened. Google claims this is so that the automated system cannot be subverted, choosing to place what is easiest for their company over the users. Instead of getting to the root of the problem, they simply blame and ban the user.

Google AdSense's appeal system is slow, ineffectual from all reports, and permanent. If you are denied your appeal, you are permanently banned from EVER holding an AdSense account in the future under your legal name. This is in spite of the fact that false reports or even 3rd party attacks could trigger this automated system to disable an account. Simply, a helpful YouTube fan or friend *thinking* they are doing the right thing by clicking your ads could cause you to become forever unable to monetize through AdSense.  Alternatively, an internet troll or someone who perceives you as a strong competitor could do the same and completely ruin a YouTuber, website holder, or app developer’s revenue stream. 

Many accounts across the web show that not only does AdSense disable the account, but any unpaid earnings are consumed by AdSense to repay advertisers for what the automated system determines are false clicks. This is the ENTIRETY of unpaid earnings meaning that false or genuine clicks are denied - sometimes in very large quantities reaching thousands of dollars of expected revenue. Many have put in hard work and numerous hours to build up a project and earn that money, only to have all that taken away by a faceless bot. Again, since it is worth repeating, there is NO way to get in touch with an actual person to discuss the issue. 

Google claims their philosophies that we, the users, can hold them accountable to their policies (but in the same page says nothing on how to do this).  Let's see if they mean this, will they provide meaningful response to this petition? 

If you've been burned, if you know someone who has, or if you are simply someone who believes internet content creation should not be stemmed by automated, lifeless scripts pinching pennies on the super corporate level, *please* *sign* and *share* this petition. We thank you immensely for your support.
