Missing a bit of context from the article, clickbait headlines tend to do that (not aimed at OP but at the article writer):

The person uploaded a bunch of AI training data to his Google drive account. That training data has CSAM in it.

Like it or not, he uploaded CSAM to his Google drive account, which is why his account was banned. Will they unban him? Maybe, but doing so would give pedos a loophole to let them upload CSAM to Google drive without getting banned - just claim it’s AI training data.
