They reported a hosted site where you sign on to exchange child porn. If accurate, that's a good thing for them to go after.
"Hosted" still doesn't mean "knew it existed". It just means that it happened to live on their servers.
For a rare non-car analogy, my GMail account "hosts" thousands of attachments I've received over the years, many encrypted (I don't send personal info through any third party in cleartext). Anyone who "knows the password" can get in and view them. Some of them, I've even shared from my GDrive, so someone doesn't even need to know my password, just have a valid GMail account.
How does that materially differ from the situation in TFA, other than in the nature of the content (which Google has no way to check)?
