27 June 2016, Dennis Cooper opened his browser, entered the address of his blog, which 14 has been hosting on Blogspot for years, and saw that the blog where he had stored the results of his work and creativity from 2002, was deleted by Google without explaining the specific reason.

For a writer and artist, this is not just a personal diary, but also a personal gallery; here he has been publishing his books, reviews and works of art in digital form since 2002, he writes Art Forum.

Special pride of the author - GIF-novel in the form of a large number of sequential animations. The novel was released in January 2015, and was favorably received by literary critics.

When typing his blog address denniscooper-theweaklings.blogspot.com From 27 June the message appears on the screen:

As it turned out, Google completely removed the artist’s account from its service, including the Gmail inbox.

The attempts of the writer to find out the reason for deleting the Google account does not provide technical explanations and traditionally does not allow you to make a backup copy of the information before it is destroyed. However, the probability remains that the information is still stored on the servers, so the chance of data recovery has not yet been lost.

In his blog, Dennis Cooper published literary recordings, studies, photographs and other works of digital art, like the aforementioned GIF-novel Zach's Haunted House and the Zach Control Panel storybook. Although the writer has an official website, but it was in the blog that he published fresh work and communicated with readers.

Dennis said that his new GIF novel, which was planned for publication this fall, was also posted and kept on the blog.

Cooper repeatedly tried to contact Google by phone and email, but received only a standard reply that the blog was deleted due to "violation of the terms of the user agreement."

Under the terms of the user agreement, Google has the right at any time to suspend the provision of services to users of the Blogspot blogger platform, which it acquired in 2003. The same is written in the terms of the user agreement service Gmail, and the company is not obliged to explain the reasons for their decision.

However, Dennis Cooper with his lawyer and an army of sympathetic readers are not going to give up. Almost three weeks have passed, but the situation has not practically moved from the dead center.

“It looks like my last option is to sue Google. “It won’t be easy for me for obvious reasons, but I’m not going to just give up and waste ten years of work, not only mine, but other people’s, without trying my best,” Cooper said.
