On a tip-off from Microsoft, a Pennsylvanian resident was arrested on 31 July for keeping child pornography on his Internet accounts.

The company alerted the police, after discovering that an image involving an underage girl had been allegedly saved to the man’s OneDrive cloud storage account.

According to court documents, the man was subsequently detected trying to send two illegal pictures via one of Microsoft’s live.com email accounts.

Microsoft’s terms and conditions for its US users explicitly state that it has the right to deploy “automated technologies to detect child pornography or abusive behaviour that might harm the system, our customers, or others”.
