Has anyone had @googledocs lock you out of a doc before? My draft of a story about wildlife crime was just frozen for violating their TOS.
Weirdly, this is one of the more tame articles I've worked on recently. It's actually about legal, but ethically dubious activity.
Just to be sure, I reviewed the TOS, and there's nothing in this doc that I can see that actually violates it.
I like to use Google Docs for drafts because my editor and I can work together in real time, but this kind of monitoring is creepy
Though clearly very naive of me not to have considered it before...
That said, we never put the super sensitive stories in Google Docs
To be clear, I don't think this is targeted censorship. My guess is there's a glitch. Several others have said it just happened to them.
This is the message I got. @selenalarson
