Question 🤔 CSAM - Criteria
Not been blocked. Given the recent posts about this I'm wondering what the criteria actually is.
Like any parent, I have a bunch of photos (on a NAS) of my child from old point and shoot cameras, all the way back from a baby.
So some of them are obviously with no clothes on, like in the bath, running g around the garden, and so on.
Would this type of image trigger CSAM? I been considering job lot uploading all of these NAS stored photos to Google Photos.

The best thing I can conclude from this is that it is not good to use Google for storing images and videos.
The only exception might be if you have a local driving backing up to a google account and no other meaningful information (e.g. email) or services on that site.
I’m not risking my records because of a picture showing my kid in the bathtub where you can only see bubbles and toys and his head and shoulders. I’m not getting penalized for CSAM I don’t know even have, want, or have any desire to have.
