This is an excellent example, I think I get it now and I'm fully on-board. Thanks.
I could easily see an AirBNB owner calling the cops if they saw, for instance, child abuse happening on their property.

Without full documentation of compliance measures, enforcement measures, and punishments imposed, violations of the rule cannot involve law enforcement who are restricted to acting on searches with warrants.
I don't believe that's the case. You don't need to state that illegal activities are not allowed; that's the default.

When Airbnb used to allow cameras indoors, they did -- after some backlash -- require hosts to disclose the presence of the cameras.

No, I don't think that is or should be necessary. If you do illegal things, the possible punishments don't need to be enumerated by the person who reports you to the police.
Put another way: if I'm hosting someone on Airbnb in the case where I'm living in the same property, and I walk into the kitchen to see my Airbnb guest dealing drugs, I am well within my rights to call the police, without having ever said anything up-front to my guest about whether or not that's acceptable behavior, or what the consequences might be. Having the drug deal instead caught on camera is no different, though I would agree that the presence of the cameras should have to be disclosed beforehand.
In Google's case, the "camera" (aka CSAM scanning) appears to have been disclosed beforehand.
Technically you would have to say to be able to walk away from accusations of complicity.
That's not the only way police get information...
What’s really fascinating is that Children Protective Services acts as if they never need a warrant even if there is not an exigent circumstance. To my knowledge there hasn’t been a Supreme Court case challenging that and circuits are split. Interesting reading about that if anyone is interested:

Anyways, that's why I just rent hotel rooms, personally. :)
