    on the flip side, theres the story of the man who, during the height of covid, had his child develop a bad rash in their diaper area

    Doctors requested photos for diagnosis.

    Google detected the photo, and called the police on him, calling him a child predator and CSAM producer.

    Police said it was a innocent, medically necessary photo.

    Doctor said it was an innocent, medically necessary photo.

    Google said, no, fuck you, we don’t care what the authorities say, you are a child fucking pervert, and we can prove it, and then pointing to a video from 6 months earlier of the mother laying on bed, i think after a bath/shower, unclothed…with the baby on her chest.A completely harmless, beautiful mother/child moment… but google perved out on it so hard they said he and his wife were the pedophiles.

    and proceeded to delete his phone number, emails, photos, and everything else he had tied to google.

      So it wasn’t illegal. Along with a holy fucking shit load of reasons to never touch google products.

        I really hope he eventually sues, wins, and gets capital B billions. Cause anything less they wont even feel, and Cause they caused him incredible harm, both with the baseless accusations, their inability to back down, and by deleting a decade+ of emails, pictures, contacts, etc etc without warning or an ability to retrieve them.

          I’m skeptical he would win that suit. Google can just say that they had to enforce their rules regardless of whether the police think he’s innocent or not, and since they own the servers that his files were on, they reserve the right to delete those files if they decide to.
