> Not adding the domain to Google Search Console immediately. I don't need their analytics and wasn't really planning on having any content on the domain, so I thought, why bother? Big, big mistake.

That should be enough to trigger an antitrust case against Google and a split of its activities. When despite unrelated, it becomes the gatekeeper of your presence in internet.

A registrar using Google's signal to deactivate your service isn't Google's fault.

Safe Browsing itself has an appeal process so I think legally they're covered. Users and governments surely appreciate someone filtering bad actors online, even if casualties don't.

It is the moment like that where it looks obvious for third parties to use it and only it to vet customers. To the point where you are forced to deal with Google because parties "can't do anything about it".

The moment that 80%+ users go to internet through their browser but at the same time control which we site can be accessed with their safe list.

The moment that you need to create an account and start using their services and accept their terms and conditions to be removed from wrongfully added "list" impacting someone.
