I really think there needs to be some strict laws for game bans, like:
Company must provide detailed proof of what triggered the ban, and for appeals the person that reviewed it, and what their credentials are to prove they have the knowledge to verify the ban was legitimate.
Ban can only apply specifically to that game (ie; no global VAC bans with a marker on your profile on steam).
Ban must be lifted immediately if the original trigger is no longer present (ie; Logitech software triggered it, and was removed).
Or just get rid of bans entirely and just have anti-cheat kick someone from the game every time something is detected instead.
The fact that you can get banned for a false positive on a game you paid money for, with no recourse other than a long court process with high risk, is kind of absurd.

This one is dangerous, like in the case with bots in TF2 the bot account got banned in the game but the account the hold the itens and probably host all the bots got global banned. I think that’s the ideal solution for this case.
Activision explained that the burden of proof should be on me as “there is no requirement for Activision to prove that I had cheated” and “any burden rests on the Claimant” (me). The Judge agreed with this so I had the task of providing evidence that I didn’t cheat.

That is bizarre, they initiated the ban so should have to provide evidence to uphold it.
Did they seriously get asked to prove a negative?
