So your contention is that because they check hashes of documents stored on drive for unlawful material, we'll say, that this proves that Google is lying about how it uses data from docs and drive?
Or are you saying they don't actually share any data learned from docs and drive
- virtue3 6y agohow would they check the HASH of a document for unlawful material? I think the complaint was they scan your entire doc, for all it's content.
- joshuamorton 6y ago> HASH of a document for unlawful material This is ~super common with things like copyright violations and child porn. You store a database of hashes of copyrighted or pornographic data. And specifically you can use visual-similarity hashing to detect even somewhat perturbed documents.

- skinnymuch 6y agoWhat does checking hashes of documents mean? Isn’t stuff either encrypted or not? This might not be a good look for me to be confused by this as a web dev/programmer, but I does that mean they are securely or otherwise hashing everything they store on all users? Drive, Gmail and other Google services have tons of data. After THats they are also still only checking hashes?
