Thanks Google! A guy had a toddler with a rash on his genitals and he sent a picture to the doctor and this caused his account to be seized and the police to investigate him.

After setting up a Gmail account in the mid-aughts, Mark, who is in his 40s, came to rely heavily on Google. He synced appointments with his wife on Google Calendar. His Android smartphone camera backed up his photos and videos to the Google cloud. He even had a phone plan with Google Fi. Two days after taking the photos of his son, Mark’s phone made a blooping notification noise: His account had been disabled because of “harmful content” that was “a severe violation of Google’s policies and might be illegal.” A “learn more” link led to a list of possible reasons, including “child sexual abuse & exploitation.” Mark was confused at first but then remembered his son’s infection. “Oh, God, Google probably thinks that was child porn,” he thought.
In December 2021, Mark received a manila envelope in the mail from the San Francisco Police Department. It contained a letter informing him that he had been investigated as well as copies of the search warrants served on Google and his internet service provider. An investigator, whose contact information was provided, had asked for everything in Mark’s Google account: his internet searches, his location history, his messages and any document, photo and video he’d stored with the company.
what in the fuck? but what happened afterwards you shitlord? the conclussion validates the story. I bet the whole thing was corrected after like 2 weeks.

No, that's the whole point. You can click the archive and read the whole story. He wasn't charged with a crime but his google accounts were seized, never returned, his appeal to google was rejected, and they officially claim to have done nothing wrong. The whole point is that there's no such thing as privacy anymore.

imagine ever considering sending your child's anything via Gmail lmao

Or the solution is not allowing google to violate people's privacy to this degree. This is the purpose of the government to regulate bad actors.

I'm gonna guess that the doctor reported the images with an abundance of caution. I doubt google has a baby penis identifier AI scanning your pictures.

>The whole point is that there's no such thing as privacy anymore. I mean, there are layers to it, and let's say some people are better informed in how to retain their rights, privacy and liberty when using the internet.
Cameron Taylor
I doubt this happened
Cooper Roberts
No, read the article they literally do. They scan ALL photos uploaded to the Google cloud. It wasn't the doctor. Why would the doctor do it after ASKING for photos of the genitals?

>I doubt google has a baby penis identifier AI scanning your pictures. Now that I believe. Google is run by glowpedos
You haven't had privacy for a long time now. Especially through any large corporation.
Henry Evans
Yeah, like they literally stole the CP from the guy, and set him in a situation in which he should just never talk about it anymore.

So what you’re saying is that it’s OK for Google to search through your stuff for possible crimes? How would the police even know if you sent a pic to your pediatrician unless they were mining and reviewing everything you do? You’re a halfwit sheep.
And what happens if they found something else in the course of their search that technically violates some law? Google and Apple are both clearly vying to become the new Real ID for the world. Imagine having your devices no longer work, being locked out of the system and unable use your phone (or in the case of Tesla, drive your car), just because of one mistake. And you’re left dealing with 3rd world poos who tell you they can’t authorize you access to your account.

The whole point of the story is the child had some sort of rash or swelling of the genitals and the parents sent a picture to the doctor via gmail during the pandemic.

It was a Friday night in February 2021. His wife called an advice nurse at their health care provider to schedule an emergency consultation for the next morning, by video because it was a Saturday and there was a pandemic going on. The nurse said to send photos so the doctor could review them in advance.
