alt Hacker Newsthe police part makes me really question what is going on here and the validity of this report.
if you get multiple child sexual abuse material (CSAM) matches, the police will be knocking on (down) your door. microsoft isnt going to nicely ask you to go down the the police station. they dont even contact local police, they forward the information to the appropriate national entity (e.g. NCMEC) who coordinates the law enforcement response.
and if it isnt CSAM related, microsoft is not going to be contacting your local police, period.
something isnt adding up here. i suspect this post is ragebait.

Why would they not? I once had a problem with material uploaded on a file sharing system hosted on Hetzner. I received an email about it from Hetzner, but I was on holiday and I didn't check my email so after 48 hours or so the local police (French gendarmerie) came to my address and politely asked for my server logs.
Luckily I had forgotten to update my billing address on my Hetzner account, so it was my parents address and I was on holidays at my parents.
