> There is no expectation of a video stored on a Google system being private to Google employees
"No expectation" of it not being available to "some" employees maybe, but there is certainly ways to restrict access to only a need-to-know employees. Ideally no employees at all unless some sort of automated monitoring system flags it or there is an outside report.
Just like some social networks, I would "expect" only security and moderation people would have access to profiles but there are always stories of entire companies having unrestricted access.
It's unclear from the article where the access boundaries are in this case.
