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.

@zeh@mstdn.io @strypey @jine @rysiek@mastodon.technology Volker #Grassmuck's Freie Software from 2004 is also really good. But it's in german and unfortunately, there are no translations I'm aware of.
