Sure, until it starts flagging normal pictures with its janky AI and you get your door kicked in based on a warrant signed by Google.

    This literally already happened here in Sweden. A guy got assaulted by masked police in the middle of the night because an American company had gone through photos in his Yahoo mail and flagged his 30 year old boyfriend as possible CSAM.

    Long article in Swedish.

    People like to think that Sweden is progressive etc. and I’d rebut it with this. If it can happen here, it could happen anywhere.
