If I come on here and say that such pictures are fine, someone will say that I am some sort of almost-pedo . What I really think is they are fine and highly inadvisable to upload to the internet. Like, I wouldn't even gmail them. If you trust both your outgoing mail server and their incoming mail server and they're going to make a direct connection, I guess. But that seems unlikely, and the doctor wouldn't understand it anyways, so mail or drop him off a thumb drive.
I say highly inadvisable because of all the risks, not just stupidly getting flagged by google (who is obviously acting stupid here). Maybe that image ends up somewhere you don't want it. IDK just seems better to more closely manage it than putting it in a situation where it's getting dumped in more than one person's google drive.
But then I don't upload pictures of myself to social media at all, so I suspect I feel differently about privacy of photos than most people.
I think uh if your plan involves sending naked pictures of your child, make a different plan. Like, can we not take the kid to the doctor any more?
At the time of this incident, no, you couldn't. After all, your son has an obvious, severe medical issue developing? But you might spread Teh Coof! and give someone's grandma the sniffles, so you can't go to the office in person.
Yeah if anyone had prepared for this the right solution would be to have a portal for patients with a secure image repository. Once uploaded that data would be protected just like the rest of patient records.
Some people's nude photos would still end up in the cloud the moment they take them, but at least this way there's a potentially safe path.
Of course no one was predicting that kind of a shutdown (well, accurately predicting ). So people made do with what they had.
Obviously google is acting ridiculous here. Considering that this is the second time I've heard this story, you'd think google would have noticed and done something.
he never should have had to do this.

I don't think it's like evil, but I do think it was really dumb to do that.
Use the internet for medical service: Dumb
Use the internet to post your breakfast, and let your daughter pimp herself out: Society

but those race riots are medically necessary.
