I'm not sure what the right thing is here

But I know. Either Google hosts a platform for other people to share their life, in which case Google should not have done anything without a warrant. Or Google owns the entire platform and all content, in which case they should be held liable for every bit of disputed content on their servers (including Youtube).

There is no middle ground. Either you are a (de-facto) common carrier, or you're not.

If the customer violated Google's TOS, the terms he agreed to when signing up, he already agreed to having his stuff deleted.
