Is there any risk of google escalating to banning accounts for adblocking? (hexbear.net)

I remember there was a bug (or intended behavior?) of people getting their accounts banned for certain kinds of mundane chat messages in live streams and I'm a little spooked that the same will happen with the recent escalation in the adblocking arms race.

That’s part of the concern. We never even see the warnings, but they still know we’re blocking ads. Next they shrug and lock our accounts, because “but muh ad revenueee!”
