Misleading title. Google Drive bans *sharing* "Misleading Content," which means they can disable sharing if a doc containing blatant misinformation starts to be widely shared on other platforms. (Edit: This doesn't mean they'll go into your drive and remove doubleplusungood content)

Google Drive is now widely used as a social media platform -- I even get spam from google drive share notifications now! And so I'm sure they will stumble in all the ways that all the platforms do around content moderation.



"In some cases, no amount of context will allow this content to remain on our platforms..." sounds exactly like they will "go into your drive and remove doubleplusungood content."


“After we are notified of a potential policy violation, we may review the content and take action, including restricting access to the content, removing the content, and limiting or terminating a user’s access to Google products.

It’s absolutely in the cards.


I updated the title, thanks.
