Google calls Drive data loss “fixed,” locks forum threads saying otherwise

That's what credit card chargebacks are for.

You’re not wrong, but doing a chargeback is a good way to get yourself yeeted off a service. I would not be surprised at all if Google suspends your account permanently if you chargeback, which is a huge issue if you rely on any of their services.

Update: yup, did some quick searching and found anecdotal reports of account suspension or deletion following a chargeback.

It's a wonderful way to be permanently locked out of your Google account, that's for sure.
