If these judges are so righteous, they should go further and mandate the OS to do mandatory scanning of personal hd.

It's still a shade of gray to me. If I offered some homegrown cloud storage to my friends, and one of them uploaded CSAM to it, you can bet your ass that I would be arrested for it.

Does Sundar get arrested if someone uploaded CSAM to GDrive?

The law has exceptions for electronic service providers who report what they find on their storage. If you are operating a service for friends at no charge with no business plan you probably will have to work a bit harder to avail yourself of that exception. Might be best to charge a nominal fee and at least pretend to be doing it as a service provider.

No, because Google will report it to the law enforcement.

Don't worry, we'll get there soon enough.
