With the launch of Google Plus, Uncle Larry has poised Google to eventually become the largest licensed owner of child porn in the world! To understand how this works you have to understand Google’s Terms of Service, features of Google Plus and the implications of “Instant upload”.

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.
