Romance author gets locked out of Google Docs for "inappropriate" content


Aspiring Author K. Renee was reportedly locked out of her own content on Google Docs after Google flagged it as "inappropriate."

As reported by Wired, Renee is an author who writes about Hockey romance and has saved over 222,000 words across multiple files and folders on Google Docs. Similar incidents were reported back in 2017, when Google started locking users out of their content for violating its policy. It remains unclear if authors in particular will be able to use Google products in the future if the material they are writing is deemed inappropriate by the company.
