We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.

Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.

This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

As Smart Search scours your phone, if it finds something it thinks (keyword: *think*) is CSAM, it can potentially shut down your Google account forever and flag you as a criminal. If you're deeply ingrained in Google’s ecosystem, losing your account would be devastating. (2/3)

@protonmail This is also no hypothetical.

Several cases have been recorded where and automatically banned people and even called on them with the refusal of said to admit they're wrong.

One case was peticularly astonishing of a parent sending photos of their child having skin irritation in the genital area and asking if they should get to the hospital now or book an appointment the next day.

One might assume that Google would've gotten the context right...
