You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy". You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps. https://developers.google.com/android/binary_transparency/google1p/overview

@nullagent @jack glad i left standard android and went back to calyx a few months ago

it doesnt seem to be in the aosp, its something google adds after, possibly thru play services or some other proprietary blob

@error420 @nullagent @jack I installed /e/ os some months ago and never regretted it.
