Not happy with the matters website owner took matters to the small claims court, suing Google for $721. Since no lawyers are allowed in the small claims court, judge turned the tides in favor of the publisher with the following statement: “I don’t think I have the power here in Palo Alto small claims court to make you reinstate his account, but I think you owe this young man $721.” The judge also added, “I think there might be money in Google’s treasury for that.”

On the flip side, Google already paid the man $721 it owed (according to Google) and fulfilled all obligations as per contact (it can terminate ANY publisher for ANY reason). It seems like Google is loosing its “innocence” and is now viewed as more of a corporation, than a playful friend.
