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 How do you know that it scans images?
Are there any traces collected, sources available or these are speculations? 
@jack Sorry, it is rather well explained in Google documentation linked 
@gytisrepecka @jack That still seems materially different from the thing Apple was doing, no? Apple was going to scan your images and report you for potential CSAM. This thing says it uses an on-device model to detect nudity and notify you that an image contains nudity before showing it to you or before you send it to someone.
@pganssle @gytisrepecka @jack I'm not a Google fan but as i read in this link, everything seems to be analysed "on device". Or the nude detection isn't, because "on device" isn't repeated for this part ?
