I’m also not saying that it happens even remotely on a regular basis, but here is a [NY Times article about 2 different sets of parents who took photos of their kid’s doodads solely because of genuine medical concerns](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html) (all documented by their pediatricians) and once Google’s servers detected the photos, not only did the company disable their respective accounts, but it also contacted the local authorities. The cases were both closed because the local police departments understood what had happened, but they were still officially investigated and who knows where it could have lead. At least one of the parents had his search history, location history, messages and all other photos, videos and documents he stored with Google sent to the police.

So DD’s “99 counts and decades in prison” continues to be bullshit.

And also, the most terrible riff on “99 Problems” I’ve ever heard.

I got 99 problems but DD ain’t one. (Since he’s on ignore for me now.)

Could have, should have. would have…

Knowing one place it _did_ lead _is_ knowing where it could have led. Because it did.

Thanks for the correction. But why are you then yelling about diodes?

So when the question is “who knows where it could have lead[sic]” the answer “_We_ know” is completely accurate.

Or, in other words, you can fuck off now.

Someone uploaded naked pictures of a child to the Internet, the hosting service reported it, the owners were investigated and cleared of wrongdoing.

This sounds like a “working as intended” situation.
