The clause extends potential suspension consequences beyond the directly affected account to related accounts and to newly created accounts, meaning an advertiser cannot avoid suspension consequences by opening new or related accounts.
Interpretive note: The excerpt appears to be a consequence clause referencing a prior condition (likely a policy violation or suspension) that is not visible in the excerpt. The triggering condition is therefore omitted from the canonical claim. Both 'may also be permanently suspended' and 'may be automatically suspended at setup' are stated as possibilities, not certainties, and that qualifier is preserved.
Advertisers face the possibility that accounts related to a suspended account may be permanently suspended, and that new accounts may be automatically suspended at the point of setup.
