Google Takeout is good insurance. I backup my full google dataset every 6 months or so.

When Google AI blocks an account, why don't they offer a window of using Google Takeout to get a .zip of all their stuff?

Given the siloed disjointed nature of various Google products, it's probably because the security and Takeout teams don't care to deal with with one another.

It’s unlikely they’d want to let someone accused of “terrorist activity” download their data, since if it was actually a terrorist some future investigation would probably blame them for materially supporting terrorism which is illegal.

That's why you do it on a schedule and already have the dump downloaded before your account is flagged.

Where is the due process or do we outsource this to private companies too?

I have been doing a takeout every month. Do you really want to lose 6 months worth of files in a disaster?
