Lawyer says Google shut down his Gmail, Voice and Photos after NotebookLM upload

Attorney Brian Chase reported that Google disabled his entire account, cutting off access to Gmail, Google Voice, and Photos, after he uploaded text-only law enforcement reports concerning child sexual abuse material into Google's AI research tool, NotebookLM. Chase stated the upload occurred on a Saturday, he received a violation notice the same day, and his account was disabled by Monday. Although he appealed, he noted Google offered no direct contact for providing context. He eventually regained access after receiving an email suggesting he could download his data via Google Takeout. Chase emphasized that the uploaded material was text-only, legal, and not illegal. The article also notes that other AI tools, including NotebookLM and OpenAI's ChatGPT, exhibit refusal behavior when asked to process sensitive public records, such as documents related to the Epstein case, while other tools like DeepSeek and Kimi summarize them successfully.
