#12I have a larger issue that no one addressed. There has to be some type of special software for the medical profession that allows you to take a picture on your phone that is not stored on your phone and that you send to the doctor.

#13I’ve heard great things about Google Domains but this kind of story is exactly why I probably won’t be using that service. It’s just too risky if you lose everything at once.
Not sure where you'd upload the photos to Google domains? Assuming, of course, that you don't use your personal account for your domains - that'd be crazy!
If it’s personal domains, then it would make sense to use a personal account.

#14But they keep insisting that their services and cloud storage is private and secure? Odd.

#15> A Google spokeswoman said the company stands by its decisions, even though law enforcement cleared the two men.
Wow. Just wow. This is worse than the usual Google's automated screw-ups. In this case, Google was notified of the issue by the NYT. Yet they actively chose to continue to screw over their victims just because they can.
> In a statement, Google said, “Child sexual abuse material is abhorrent and we’re committed to preventing the spread of it on our platforms.”
Just how tone deaf can Google be, continuing to treat these innocent folks as criminals in this passive aggressive statement even after being proven wrong? Do these people have no empathy at all?

#16controversial opinion: as much as everybody knows that China isn't exactly championing the western way of life and western democratic standards, I keep my private files in a Chinese cloud (backups are kept private in a NAS in my house).
Why?
Because they are not in contact with our authorities and, frankly, the chances my private files will be of any interest for Chinese authorities are close to zero.
Not that I have nothing in particular to hide, but as this example proves once again, if life damaging mistakes can happen, they will happen.

#17"Google’s review team [then] flagged a video he made and the San Francisco Police Department had already started to investigate him." That sounds like a permanent stain on his records.

This. China, unlike the U.S., is not gonna ask other countries to extradite me if they ever find me in violation of whatever bullshit law they have.

#19I’ve heard too many things about how non existent Google’s customer service is to ever trust them for anything critical. You hardly ever hear stories like this from any of the other big tech companies. I’m excluding FB, because I don’t care about FB enough.

Welcome to fascism.
A private company is the de-facto judge, jury and executioner because it owns half the infrastructure you live your life on.
