Google's performance led to the arrest of a user who would accommodate images of child pornography on his computer. Sophos wondered if Google wouldn't be doing more than its role as service provider and if wouldn't be violating the privacy of the user.
By all indications, the answer to both questions is no. Gmail uses technology that analyzes users ' e-mails in search of key words and expressions to display targeted advertising. Similarly, the company uses technology, i.e. There is no human being searching users ' e-mails, to find traces of child pornography.
The great technological giants such as Microsoft and Google, for example, collaborate on various initiatives to fight this scourge and prevent as much as possible that this type of content can be shared. Microsoft, for example, has a technology that deconstructs and standardizes all images to analyze and identify whether it contains child pornography. The PhotoDNA automates detection of these contents and doesn't need to be seen the original images, to the extent that the photographs are divided and categorized according to their unique signature.
It is known that Google uses a similar technology to identify video content, in order to remove them from the Internet and avoid the shares. Google also has a technology dedicated to the identification of images and the company carrying out the removal of illegal images of its services, such as Gmail and the polls. Google explained that denounces abuses automatically and that provides the necessary evidence to convict the suspects who are guilty of share this kind of content.
