If I use Google reverse image search to check if a picture of a young-looking girl is a legit 18yo actress or CP and it turns out to be a minor, did I commit a crime uploading it to Google?
The pic is obviously not uploaded from my computer but straight from its internet source as a URL. But nevertheless Google saves the image to their database, meaning I uploaded it to Google. Uploading CP is a crime.
This has never happened to me, I'm just asking this in theory.
For example:
>you find a pic on 4chan
>you want to check it on Google reverse image search
>you enter the 4chan URL in Google
>turns out its a minor
>you committed a crime of distributing CP even though it wasnt in your possession in the first place
Don't drop the soap !
