Guys, settle down. This is a clickbait title, google isn't "censoring" anything and no part of the content of her silly hockey porn was deemed unacceptable by Google. What happened is that she had a ton of people accessing these documents and Google inaccurately flagged it as her spamming them at people unsolicited. That's why she was locked from sharing them, because Google('s automated systems) assumed it was a bot account doing spam.

For YEARS my google calendar was spammed with "FUCK MY PUSSY @2PM (insert dangerous link here)" type shit but like a dozen people reading some amateur smut gets flagged immediately.

How on Earth were people editing your calendar without permission?

Google will add them automatically as tentative events. This is a "helpful" feature that no one could see being abused. Outlook does the same shit as well.
