This is the fundamental flaw in cloud moderation: Google scans your files for “policy violations.” The system cannot distinguish between an artist archiving their own legally published work and someone uploading prohibited material. When the consequences include losing access to email, documents, calendars, and every service linked to that account, the cost of a false positive becomes catastrophic.

Something similar happened to a man who had photos of his own children on his Google Drive. They alerted to police due to possible CSAM. Got the guy wrapped up in a couple months of legal trouble.

People really need to learn how bad cloud storage is and why hosting locally is crucial for security and your own safety.

Host locally. Encrypt. Don’t trust any company with storing your sensitive files.
