Sigh. I mean, they have a point, but what do they really expect tech companies to do? There are some obvious cases where Google obviously does something stupid

Sigh. I mean, they have a point, but what do they really expect tech companies to do? There are some obvious cases where Google obviously does something stupid and Microsoft is more than a little oblivious as to what is going on on their search engine.
It's not like this is the first thing someone thinks about when building a product however like Dropbox or AWS and AWS is vitally important to quite a number of businesses.
Sure, they could have moderators scour through all of that, but how many trade secrets and private documents will they see in the process? Insider threat and corporate espionage is a real problem, could anyone trust them after that?
There have even been some cases where classified documents from the Department of Defence have turned up on AWS (there are a few news articles which attest to this), although perhaps it should not have been there in the first place.
There are also all the personal photos and all sorts of embarrassing things on someone's Dropbox account, unless they plan on getting some sort of warrant, then they really shouldn't be rummaging through all of that.
