What happened
Gergely Orosz flagged that Google Antigravity's terms of service explicitly state that suspected third-party usage (e.g., using OpenClaw) can result in suspension of your entire Google account, not just the Antigravity account. Theo (t3.gg) echoed the concern, noting that a Google account ban is far more damaging than an OpenAI or Anthropic ban. Varun Mohan, identified in the thread as Head of Antigravity, pushed back but Orosz pointed to reports of Gemini CLI bans unrelated to Antigravity.
Why it matters
If you use Google Gemini subscriptions through unofficial surfaces or third-party tooling, you risk losing your entire Google account—Gmail, Drive, Photos, everything. Before wiring Antigravity or Gemini CLI into your dev workflow or agent stack, read the TOS and decide whether that blast radius is acceptable. Do not assume informal reassurances from product heads override written terms.
Discussion angle
Compare the blast radius of account bans across AI providers: OpenAI/Anthropic lose you API access, but a Google ban can take out your email, cloud, and identity infrastructure. Should builders treat Google AI subscriptions as untouchable for production agent work given this TOS language?
