OK. So are you suggesting that this might have been the case in this situation? I would suggest that unless it is, then the proper reaction from Google would have been to inform the user what was going on. I understand that Google are covering their backs - and I appreciate that they should do that. What I'm saying is that inasmuch that it doesn't pose a risk (in legal terms) for them to keep the user informed, they could be expected to do so.
troels, I completely agree with the sentiment that "inasmuch that it doesn't pose a risk (in legal terms) for them to keep the user informed, they could be expected to do so."
The issue in this case is that with a potential child pornography situation, the legal risks are much different and harsher in all kinds of unexpected ways.
