His slippery slope does make sense. Your argument seems to suggest you would think it's okay for the police to show up at your door everyday and go though your files looking for child porn as long as they promise not to care about anything else like that weed you've got or those taxes you didn't file perfectly. I'm assuming you wouldn't be happy with that . Google shouldn't be looking in my email in the first place period for anything . The end. I'll give them permission to automate scanning to place ads but that's it. Anything past that is out full stop

Anything past that is out full stop All services have clauses saying what you're not allowed to do on those services; and that they monitor to ensure that you're not doing that. I'd be amazed if the user agreement you signed when you started using Google (assuming you use Google) didn't have that.

You do realize that automation of scanning to place ads is FAR more invasive to your privacy than what's being described in this article? Scanning if any of the images you sent, when hashed, meet a certain hash is about as blind and automated as you can possibly get. They have no clue of what images you send or what they look like, they just know if you sent an image that is an exact match to an image of child pornography. No one is actually reading through emails and "looking" at the pictures; a program is hashing them all.
