That’s not the whole story. They didn’t reinstate his account because of another, medically unnecessary, photo of the kid in bed with his nude wife.

Why is that a bannable offense?

Source? I can’t find anything about this as an addendum to the story. Guardian, verge and NYT just end the story at “account still blocked”.

It was a video and he didn't send it. He just happened to have it on the same phone.

"the subsequent review of his account turned up a video from six months earlier that Google also considered problematic, of a young child lying in bed with an unclothed woman."

Interesting that Google can just browse through the photos on one's phone, completely at their own initiative.

"Private and secure" - private and secure from other people. Never from Google. Never from the US government.

source and context? I think that happened in the U.K., and I'm not sure what their laws are, but in the U.S.A., as long as there is nothing sexual about it, such a picture is not illegal.
