Location Involved: (Same as above)
Consumer's Original Complaint :
Google and their subsidary Blogspot.com continue with their policy of random deletions of consumers blog sites.
Please note that the actions complained about below have been the subject of 2 similar complaints by me and in both cases the BBB has been able to contact Google and get the blogs restored and apologies issued by google and admissions made by them that the sites should NOT have been deleted.
See My Priot BBB Complaints on the same issue at:
BBB CASE#: 545321 of March 2017 - 3 of my blog sites were deleted.
BBB Case #452949 of Nov 2015 - 14 of my blog sites were deleted.
Clearly Google/Blogspot has automatic programs running from their India* operation that are out of control and close users blog sites for bogus reasons.
(*Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India)
You would think that the rocket scientists at Google/Blogspot would have been able to get their flawed programs corrected after 4 years but it seems they have not.
Here is the current problem which I hope you can get fixed:
On or about August 25, 2017 Google, who runs the site 'blogspot.com', removed the blog site 'walmartap.blogspot.com' from the internet.
In looking at my sitemeter I see that from 8/25/17 to 9/2/17 Google India and Google's US bots have been to this site 11 times.
I have put in the online 'appeal' and have not heard back from them and the site continues to be unavailable.
Below are 2 different things that Google says about the removal of the site:
1) "Blog has been removed
Sorry, the blog at walmartap.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs."
Did you expect to see your blog here? See: 'I can't find my blog on the Web, where is it?'
Another notification from them says:
2) "Warning, this blog has been locked
Your blog was locked for violating Terms Of Service. If you wish to request a review of your blog, edit its content and click 'Appeal'. This blog will be permanently deleted within 80 days unless you request a review."
Consumer's Desired Resolution:
Google/Blogspot India should restore the removed/deleted site and cease to randomly delete my sites.Keep in mind that this is the 3rd time in 2 years that they have done this and each time after weeks of complaints by me and the BBB they have put the blogs back online.This nonsense from their India operation must STOP.

Google/Blogspot have posted as follows to my email account atlantagausa@gmail.com. As you can see this states that 7 days ago they permanently deleted my account. I hope that the BBB will give them an Unsatisfactory rating:

10/02/2017 WEB BBB BBB REVIEWS CONSUMER REBUTTAL TO BUSINESS RESPONSE : (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This reply:
" I'm going to flag this with my teammates to see if there's anything we can do to make sure it doesn't happen again.", is totally unacceptable.
This is the 3rd time in 2 years that my blogs have been deleted by their uncontrolable bots from their India operation.
They didn't get it fixed either of those 2 times, and this reply is worthless.
I hope the BBB downgrades their rating, they have a ton of complaints and this most recent failure to do more than 'see if there is anything they can do' STINKS.
I put years worth of work into my blog sites and these India pin heads and their bots come along and make them disappear for 4-7 weeks before they look into it and ALWAYS put them back.
Of course it takes complaints to the BBB to actually get their attention and I would think that the BBB would be getting pretty tired of this Google BS by now.
Rate Google, Inc as 'U' and see how they like it.

GOOGLE INC SUCKS
After using Blogspot.com for over 5 years and 250+ blogs with no problem worth noting I now find that some rocket scientist at HQ has come up with some robotic application for detecting 'spam' and probably other things as well. Problem here is the damn thing doesn't work worth 2 dead flys and it seems that HQ is asleep at the switch and they do nothing to fix or remove the program. Here is my issue with them:
Monday, October 2, 2017
Friday, September 22, 2017
Saturday, September 23, 2017
NOTE: The Walmart site has been restored, it was missing for 27 days, it is now back in service.
This evening my missing site was reinstated. Here is the BS 'apology' they provided:

Hello, We have received your appeal regarding your blog http://walmartap.blogspot.com/ . Upon further review we have determined that your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system and, as such, we have reinstated your blog. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the meantime and thank you for your patience as we completed our review process. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, The Blogger Team
Here is the number of times Google was on my site
Google India: 6
Mountain View: 27
TOTAL: 33 times over 27 days.
Misc Note: Looks like on Sept. 14th the site was 'restored' for a short time and Cox Communications from LV, Nev, had time to look in before it was once again deleted also on 9/14.

This is the 3rd time that the pin heads at GOOGLE have reached out and mindlessly deleted some of my blogs.
The first 2 times the BBB assisted in getting them put back and apologies were given, this time around they don't seem to even bother to respond to the Better Business Bureau's inquiry.

2017 is a replay of censorship of 2015
Below is the latest BBB complaint about Google and Blogspot.com. Their India operation seems to be the one behind the reckless deletions.
As you can see Google admits that they deleted the 7 sites in error but so far they have only restored 6 of them. 1 sites is still gone!
BBB CASE#: 545321
*** Your response has been recorded, and will be reviewed by BBB. No further action is required of you at this time. Click here to print a copy of your response.If you have information you would like to provide regarding this complaint or need to upload a document, clickhere. ***

Case Description: | Deletion/Suspension of 3 blog sites, one going back 6 yrs, 2 others from 2015 On March 27, 2017 I discovered that a 6 yr old blog site: castlelakekennesaw.blogspot.com had been removed/deleted. Years worth of work (text and photos) had been on this site and it was frequently updated and viewed by many people. This is what was left in place of my blog: "Blog has been removed Sorry, the blog at castlelakekennesaw.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs. Did you expect to see your blog here? See: 'I can't find my blog on the Web, where is it?' " As per their procedures I click on the box to put in an 'appeal'. No reply to date, they claim it will be 'reviewed'. I subsequently added my displeasure to 2 other Blogspot.com accounts that I had created the last time this uncalled for censorship had taken place which was Nov 2015. These 2 accounts were updated to reflect that blogspot.com / Google, Inc was again deleting user accounts. The 2 accounts were immediately removed by blogspot.com / Google, inc, they are: http://avoidblogspot.blogspot.com and aks, https://sundarpichaisucks.blogspot.com and notices of their removal were left, reading as the above quoted one reads, just the blog names were changed. The BBB might reference my prior complaint at Case#452949 of Nov 2015 which involved their deleting about 14 of my blogs and after my BBB complaint they were finally restored. I see that your BBB site rates Google, Inc at only a B+ with 3.14 stars and you show 19 of 21 complaints as being negative. Extra Detailed Info

BELOW INFO IS FROM THE 2015 DELETIONS:
Initially I complained to the Google CEO Sundar Pichai (see below post) and of course I got no reply or acknowledgment to that letter.
Since that original Nov 8th complaint I have had about 18 of my 250 or so blogs 'deleted' by the Google/Blogspot.com robots as 'SPAM' and perhaps 6 have subsequently been restored with a mickey mouse apology.
A dozen still are gone, thus the BBB complaint below.

===============================
===========================================
Google/Blogspot has simply gone nuts!
As you can see from the below they are deleting consumer blogs left and right and have a total disregard for those of us who have put years worth of work into our sites.
So far I have had no input from Mr. Sundar Pichai, CEO or anyone in Google.
I am now up to 8 initially deleted blog sites with 4 of them being 'restored' as having been mistakenly taken down by the stupid TOS robots.
====================================
Nov. 10, 2015
Mr. Sundar Pichai, CEO
Google Inc.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043
COMPLAINT ABOUT 3 BLOGSPOT.COM ACCOUNTS BEING BLOCKED
Mr. Pichai:
I am a 'citizen journalist' writing mostly on consumer related issues and I have about 250 (+/-) Blogspot accounts.
A partial 10 page list is attached For Your Information it is somewhat out of date, more blogs have been added.
In the last 8 days 3 of these accounts have been 'deleted' by your stupid TOS robots!
This is entirely unacceptable. Of these 3 deletions, one about the Kohl's Department store has been restored with an unacceptable apology for it having been removed. "your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system".
The first of the blogs to be removed was 'appealed' details below and a week has passed with nothing being done.
I want to bring to your attention that your robot TOS system is entirely out of control and is destroying years of posts that I have made on many consumer topics.
Your 'appeal' process is a bad joke and at least in the case of http://mayormathews.blogspot.com/ the blog the appeal has not even been addressed.
I want your robots to leave my sites alone. If they are doing this to me they are doing it to others and your system is not functioning correctly.
A) I want my 2 sites:
http://mayormathews.blogspot.com/
http://lenscrafterscorporate.blogspot.com/
restored and I want a public apology from you for having screwed up in the first place.
B) I want an email address of a human being at your operation who I can reach for future complaints if/when your out of control TOS program deleted others of my accounts.

Since that original Nov 8th complaint I have had about 18 of my 250 or so blogs 'deleted' by the Google/Blogspot.com robots as 'SPAM' and perhaps 6 have subsequently been restored with a mickey mouse apology.
A dozen still are gone, thus the BBB complaint below.

Google/Blogspot has simply gone nuts!
As you can see from the below they are deleting consumer blogs left and right and have a total disregard for those of us who have put years worth of work into our sites.
So far I have had no input from Mr. Sundar Pichai, CEO or anyone in Google.
I am now up to 8 initially deleted blog sites with 4 of them being 'restored' as having been mistakenly taken down by the stupid TOS robots.

COMPLAINT ABOUT 3 BLOGSPOT.COM ACCOUNTS BEING BLOCKED
Mr. Pichai:
I am a 'citizen journalist' writing mostly on consumer related issues and I have about 250 (+/-) Blogspot accounts.
A partial 10 page list is attached For Your Information it is somewhat out of date, more blogs have been added.
In the last 8 days 3 of these accounts have been 'deleted' by your stupid TOS robots!
This is entirely unacceptable. Of these 3 deletions, one about the Kohl's Department store has been restored with an unacceptable apology for it having been removed. "your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system".
The first of the blogs to be removed was 'appealed' details below and a week has passed with nothing being done.
I want to bring to your attention that your robot TOS system is entirely out of control and is destroying years of posts that I have made on many consumer topics.
Your 'appeal' process is a bad joke and at least in the case of http://mayormathews.blogspot.com/ the blog the appeal has not even been addressed.
I want your robots to leave my sites alone. If they are doing this to me they are doing it to others and your system is not functioning correctly.
A) I want my 2 sites:
http://mayormathews.blogspot.com/
http://lenscrafterscorporate.blogspot.com/
restored and I want a public apology from you for having screwed up in the first place.
B) I want an email address of a human being at your operation who I can reach for future complaints if/when your out of control TOS program deleted others of my accounts.

Appeal
----------------------------------------------------
Blog authors are notified by email that their blog site has been deleted for 'violation of Terms of Service', in the case of my sites they claim "SPAM" which is of course total BS.
The next step, although not clearly set out, is to click on the 'appeal' link which in theory will get a human to look at the site and decide if it is or is not spam.
To date I have had 10 sites abruptly removed (deleted) and have put in appeals on all of them and five have been reinstated. Times from appeal to reinstatement have been between 2 days to 7 days.
Here are what the notifications of both removal and reinstatement look like:
