BBC News - Google 'reveals user' over Gmail child abuse images

A no brainer on the face of the facts but it raises more questions, what crimes will Google report on? Is it now obliged to report all instances of child abuse that it comes across? Does this justify the reading of your emails for Advertising purposes?

I don't think they do this as a matter of course, they just got lucky with this one. If the cops in the US are to be believed, this is rife across the world and you would be reading about it every day.

The scanning of emails routinely for targetted advertising is outrageous though. I don't use Google and I will move provider if I find they engage in such behaviour. Of course there's nothing you can do to stop the NSA or GCHQ though.
