A caller phones Radio Erywan. "Is it true that in Moscow, on Red Square, they give out cars?" "True. Not in Moscow, however, but in St. Petersburg. Not on Red Square, but on Revolution Square. Not cars, but bikes. And they don't give them out, but steal them".

Edit: Through the apparent magic of Hacker News, my Google Ads account has been reinstated. Still no explanation of what triggered the suspension, but thank you to everyone who helped make it visible (and/or fixed).

RACE is a native mac OS terminal multiplexer written in Rust. You can position and resize terminals freely instead of squeezing everything into a uniform grid: Keep a large editor beside a small shell, spread out build logs, arrange the workspace around the work, mark with colors etc. I built it, I use it, and I maintain it. Since it's multiplexer it manages terminals and lets shell sessions survive application restarts (good for development and hooking off the work).

Then I tried advertising for the first time. I set up a Google Ads campaign. Spent 500$ and... Google suspended the account for "Malicious software". Google said "Malicious software" and "Compromised Site". Sounded like bullshit. Application was signed and notarized. Website was clear and had no attack surface, but sure I'll check. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Clean like a whistle. So I appealed. It rejected my appeal, told me to submit new information, and suggested deleting my account if I had none. I appealed, and got rejected. Then I appealed, and got rejected. And I appealed with even more information, and got rejected. And again, and got blocked for a week. And again...

We have completed a full security review of the RACE website, download infrastructure, Java Script assets, and distributed mac OS application. Security verification Google Safe Browsing: no issues reported for the distributed DMG. Virus Total: the distributed DMG/binary is clean. The DMG and application signatures were independently verified and found valid and clean. All Java Script source files and generated bundles used by the website were reviewed. Bundle outputs were analyzed and no malicious, injected, obfuscated, or unexpected code was found. Google Search Console — race-term.com: no security issues reported. Google Search Console — downloads.race-term.com: no security issues reported.
