A Dad Took Photos of His Kid for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal
Stratechery covered this … they pointed out the really f*ed: part: Google is refusing to reinstate the account.Protecting children is important. AI is imperfect.But there is no reason the keep the account suspended once it’s clear there was no wrongdoing.This man is innocent of doing anything wrong. Google had suspended him, and removed access to all his online account data. And refuses to reinstate.We balance out liberties with responsibilities all the time. We allow the state power to protect children, and corporations have the right to assist them.There are careful balancing acts being done.But there is no balancing act here. There is no justification for Googles action.
