Η Google detects your email only for child abuse content and no other criminal activity. The company's statement came after dcrackdown that arose when the police arrested a Gmail user trafficking material for child abuse.
It's not the first time the company does that. According to a Google announcement posted by Business Insider, η εταιρεία προσπαθεί ενεργά για την αφαίρεση κάθε παράνομης φωτογραφίας από τις υπηρεσίες της, καθώς και από τα αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης. Η εταιρεία δήλωσε πως το Gmail, αναφέρει αμέσως κάθε κατάχρηση στο Εθνικό Κέντρο για τα Εξαφανισμένα και Κακοποιημένα Παιδιά (National Center for Missing and Exploited children). Evidence is routinely used to convict criminals.
"Each image of child sexual abuse gives a unique digital footprint that allows our systems to detect it," said a Google spokesman.
It should be noted that Google and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have been working together for years, creating a joint database that contains pictures child abuse. Each of them has a unique "hash", as it is known in its world technologys, which is essentially a fingerprint. Scans of the company's systems essentially look for these fingerprints. Google is legally required to report any such discoveries within its systems.
