"Then last summer, a tip from Google — one of millions sent every year to a U.S. child-protection organization — kicked off a chain of events that ultimately landed him in pre-trial jail on 43 sex-crime charges, according to allegations in a police court document.

In an unproven affidavit filed in court to obtain a search warrant, Toronto police say the U.S. tech giant flagged 11 images of suspected child sexual abuse material uploaded last August to a Google Drive account in Poon's name. "

Interesting case. Clearly, the alleged activity is in the criminal realm and should be responded to. However, the fact that Google is doing this again highlights the fact, like the recent Proton email case, cloud providers are not dedicated to absolute personal privacy. They can prioritize their own interests over the individual, including working with government for whatever it wants to see.
