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.

@jack This is misinformation. If you read what Google actually wrote, it only notifies the user of nudity. Google specifically say that it doesn't notify them.
Of course Google might be lying, but there is no evidence here of any new risk.
@tokensane @jack There is no data sent to Google. It all takes place in device. It’s designed to protect minors.
