Not the first of such stories either:

This is why I explicitly make on-site backups of anything that's in the cloud and don't store my passwords with Apple. If they suddenly decided I had CSAM for some reason, I'd be locked out of everything.

Google found an image of potential cp, literally a naked child, and forwarded it to the authorities to figure out if it was legit.

Other than the person having their Google account suspended which is a separate issue from the surveillance I see zero issue with the events as they happened. In a bygone era where you had to get photos developed I would have expected the 1 hour photo employee to do the same.

That’s a totally alien idea to me. I grew up in a very nudity-friendly family in Europe and the idea that something as trivial as a naked photograph could occasion such a quasi-disaster is absolutely horrifying.

A photo of a naked child isn’t automatically CP

Which is was forwarded to the police for them to make that determination, do you want the alternative where Google decides?
