This is a developer's documented account of Google Ads repeatedly suspending their account for "malicious software" while advertising RACE, a legitimate macOS terminal multiplexer written in Rust. The source shows the author performed extensive security verification—Google Safe Browsing found no issues, VirusTotal came clean, code was audited, signatures validated—yet Google rejected multiple appeals without explaining *what* triggered the flag or why the evidence didn't address it. The most concrete hypothesis the author identifies is that RACE's subprocess-management behavior (core to its function as a multiplexer) might resemble malware patterns to automated detection. The post documents a frustrating asymmetry: Google provides suspension and rejection, but no actionable feedback. The author mentions their account was eventually reinstated "through the apparent magic of Hacker News" visibility, but still without explanation. This reads as a real incident, not promotional material—the tone is exhausted, the evidence is specific and verifiable, and the outcome remains unsatisfying.
