What scares me the most these days is that a lot of vendors have a policy of "we're shutting you down, but we won't tell you why or how you can fix things so that it doesn't happen again".

I have had friends who have had their Twitter or Youtube accounts shut down with no explanation from the companies involved. Just recently, MailChimp shut down a brand new account for my SaaS (we had only 4 subscribers added, and hadn't sent out any email campaigns yet!) with a refusal to give us an explanation why. We set up another account and did everything exactly the same way (including tediously replicating lots of email templates manually) without the same thing happening. Why was the first account shut down? We will never know, it seems.

I am all for using AI to detect dark patterns and raising a flag, but I think these companies need to bring a more human aspect into the after effects. Surely a legitimate operator will always email in with a "WTF?" whereas a nefarious actor will simply automatically move on to the next thing?
