MANILA, Philippines – Police arrested a man in Pennsylvania following a tip from Microsoft that the man had child pornography in his OneDrive cloud storage account.

A BBC report notes that the man was later detected trying to send two illegal pictures through Microsoft’s Live.com email system.

He was arrested on July 31, following a tip from Microsoft to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipline – a system for reporting suspected child sexual exploitation incidents.

An affidavit about the man’s case, posted on an online news site, points to the man getting the pictures through chat app Kik Messenger. The affidavit also said he engaged in “trading and receiving images of child pornography on his mobile cellular device.”

The BBC confirmed with a trooper from the Pennsylvania State Police the authenticity of the affidavit, and also said Microsoft’s tip started the investigation.

In the United States, Microsoft’s terms and conditions state that the company has the right to use “automated technologies to detect child pornography or abusive behavior that might harm the system, our customers, or others.”

News of Microsoft’s actions follow after reports that a tip from Google helped police to catch another man who kept child pornography on his Gmail account. – Rappler.com
