[1] Neither this nor the barebones Google announcement page mention cameras, but I absolutely will not extend Google the benefit of the doubt given its "let's be evil as long as it makes us money" attitude.

Amid the cries of 'just use f-droid' when talking about Google curtailing the Nextcloud sync client in Play Store, I notice that very few have bothered to include a link.

There are a considerable number of apps if you search for 'Nextcloud' in f-droid. A little daunting for new users, or those just unaware (or time poor).

@selzero I was a lot more sanguine about this when I lived about five miles from a primary target.

Now I'm in the short-to-medium term survivor one, and I really don't want to live in the early aftermath of a #Skynet conflict.

Google Lifts a Ban on Using Its AI for Weapons and Surveillance

Google published principles in 2018 barring its AI technology from being used for sensitive purposes. Weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term, those guidelines are being overhauled.
