 the bank statement of the prepaid credit card that I gave, and I have
 neither of these things. Perhaps we can transfer the account ownership to
 TPO? Hopefully? Otherwise we'll need to make a whole new account and do
 #16650 all over again.

 suspended the Tor Bridges account? Strange terminology on their part.

 Yeah, it's very weird, the account itself is not suspended, I just can't
 pay for anything. Also, I can't access the cloud console to modify or look
 at the instance.

 > I also remember that we had to drop meek-google within Tor Browser as a
 PT due to some kind of service violation. If that is likely to happen
 again with the Moat reflector we should switch to Amazon or Azure now I
 suppose.

 Yeah, probably either Tor's lawyers should try to get a promise from
 Google that we're allowed to do this, or the sysadmin team should set up
 another reflector somewhere else using an account that TPO has financial
 control over?
