Okay. I thought there was a problem/feature with Google Drive that made it too easy for unauthorized entities to access my files. That's the impression I get from the article in the OP. If Alphabet is checking my files for compliance reasons, as per the ToS, that is not really a security problem. Maybe there are vulnerabilities with their review process, but I don't think anyone is making that claim.
