Google Drive can flag your family photos as CSAM: one user's cautionary thread
gabriberton · x · 2026-10-12
Gabriel Berton follows up on his viral thread about Google Drive falsely flagging content. After community input and research, he concludes he'll keep using "Sign in with Google" — it's safer than juggling per-site passwords.
His two takeaways: 1) keep using Google sign-in; 2) never upload anything to Google Drive that could even remotely resemble CSAM — including medical photos of your kids or children at a pool — as automated flagging can cost you your account.
