I think “randomly” is being used here in the sense of “without a good reason.” Regardless of how the content gets classified, they shouldn’t be policing private files.

The anecdata from Twitter were stories about shared docs getting flagged as a ToS violation. Did anyone see the false ToS violation on a totally private, unshared file?

Where do you get that from? I randomly checked a few of the tweets and didn't see anything about shared. Nothing about private, either, but that seems like a reasonable default assumption.

Yup. It's a big leap from "Google has a bug" to "you don't control any of your content on the Internet."

Well, even a PRNG is deterministic at some level. I think it’s a fine descriptor given the context.
