> It would be a stupid move... Please do remember that this company you work for is somewhat notorious on this website for making "stupid moves" seemingly every other day with respect to basic product management. The usual defense is that some internal incentive mechanism blindly optimized for these stupid moves and no one is at the wheel to change the company's high-level behavior... is there really any reason to believe things are different here? Is there a mechanism by which someone helping a user get around a CSAM filter would get them promoted at Google, or would they just be taking on potentially-arbitrary levels of internal risk going off the rails on a side project wherein they have to condone something that has an air of danger to it with the only real goal of helping a user who probably wasn't even paying Google anything in the first place? I admittedly don't work at Google, but the impression one gets on the outside looking in is that doing something that wouldn't cause some major impact on your performance review "isn't very Googley" :(.
