Google doesn't seem to mention content beyond the DMCA (maybe I'm missing something):
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

- psteinweber 14y agoPlus "unlawfully pornographic" is a huge different to "any kind of partial nudity".
- Symmetry 14y agoAll those only trigger if you share your files publicly. That's fine, but what I don't want is a cloud provider looking through and judging files that I don't choose to share with others.
- zmmmmm 14y agoPerhaps there is context missing but the Apple one above refers to "uploading" and "storing". Seems like it would apply to anything you put in iCloud? And since it includes the catch-all "otherwise objectionable" it would seem to make it quite open ended, almost unusable really.
