You’re making a serious accusation without evidence. I don’t know if the file in question was CSAM—because Google won’t tell me. We just have Google’s word for it. What I do know is that I used publicly available datasets—like NudeNet and COCO—for benchmarking an NSFW detection model. These datasets have been used by researchers for years. If there was anything questionable in them, that should be addressed openly—not used as a reason to erase someone’s digital life without transparency or due process. I’m not claiming academic immunity. I’m saying it was unintentional, and I had no idea anything I processed could have been flagged. And if there was something problematic in a dataset, I would absolutely want to identify and report it—but I can’t do that if Google refuses to disclose what was flagged. This isn’t just about me. When a private company has the unchecked power to destroy someone’s livelihood overnight, it stops being a simple platform—it becomes a de facto utility. There needs to be a path for review, correction, and accountability.
