    "Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate. There were no highlighted sections, no indicators of what had rendered her documents unshareable. Had one of her readers flagged the content without discussing it with her first? "

    So much of her work could have broken the T&Cs that she can’t identify what it could be without highlights.

    Original Wired article says later in it that Google thought she was spamming

    Different author, but if that’s the case (and it seems this author shares files to over 80 people in one go) then it’s a spam filter issue? Again, non story.

    The headline is a complete lie.
