Breaking: August 21, 2025

Google has initiated widespread enforcement actions against Google Workspace accounts operating under educational (.edu) and non-profit organization licenses that were being used for commercial email operations. This action affects thousands of accounts across multiple providers who were exploiting these discounted or free licenses.

What's Happening

  • Immediate account termination with no warning
  • Complete loss of email access and data

Who's Affected
