Does anyone on the fediverse either work on the #gmail team at #Google or know someone who does? I am looking for an email address that would go to a human employee that I can report real problems to. I have a bug report that should easily identify a spammer that sent 10,000+ spam emails through gmail last week. I have sent many reports through the abuse form previously, but those do not seem to result in any response or a solution to the problems that I report.

Government bans don't stop kids from getting online. They just push them into the unmonitored dark corners of the web where they are actually in more danger.

These laws strip away your rights as a parent and hand control to the state.

Trust Canadian parents, not bureaucrats.
