Gmail will call the cops on you based on the content of your emails

Article note: It really is _staggeringly_ unacceptable. Google suspended this person's account and reported them to the police because a photo of their child's medical problem they took at a doctor's request was automatically backed up. And there is essentially no recourse because google's whole model is customers can only interface with robots. Systems should serve _people_, if we're getting false positives that massively disrupt people's lives, we should go ahead and E2E encrypt the middle-men and surveillance state out (and frankly, we probably should anyway).
