       | 
       | And quite frankly, automated penalties (removal, ban, etc.)
       | should be required to give specific reasons for the penalty.
       | 
       | If the user doesn't know what they've done wrong, chances are
       | they'll do it wrong again unless they are told where they made a
       | misstep.
       | 
       | And when the company makes a misstep and incorrectly penalizes a
       | user, the company should admit its mistake and state how it will
       | prevent making such a mistake again. If the company claims it is
       | too complex, then they should not be using such a system.
       | 
       | Google (and other companies which use similar technologies) need
       | to change their requirements for AI to never generate false
       | positives.

       | Does this mean the ads themselves were removed/blank?
