AFAIK it has clearly been a ban of Gemini and not of all people's Google accounts.

However many stories appeared where people tried to claim that their whole Google account was banned to gain traction.

Unless it is clear that a full Google account has been banned we should push back on any story that claims this.

Why? Google has been doing automated bans for ages, even before "AI".

By now they lost any trace of goodwill they ever had and are guilty until proven innocent.
