Wisconsin Supreme Court rules Google’s child abuse file scans don’t violate Fourth Amendment, upholding man’s conviction.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Google’s automated scanning of user files for child sexual abuse material does not violate the Fourth Amendment, upholding a conviction against Andreas Rauch Sharak.
The court said Google, as a private company, acted within its rights by flagging and reporting suspicious files to authorities, and law enforcement’s review of those files did not require a warrant under the "private search doctrine."
Rauch Sharak, who pleaded guilty in 2024 to five counts of possession, was sentenced to three years in prison, three years of extended supervision, and 15 years of sex offender registration.
The decision marks the second recent case in which the court upheld convictions based on evidence from private tech platforms.
