@nullagent@partyon.xyz this post is misinformation, it's the "sensitive content warnings" feature described in this blog post https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/5-new-protections-on-google-messages.html

    @nullagent@partyon.xyz the source it links does not back up its claims whatsoever

    @leo@60228.dev @nullagent@partyon.xyz hey thanks for clearing this up! so it looks like, since I don't use Google messages this is useless to have around. otoh, if goog can just install whatever the fuck they want on my phone apparently, then it would just come back after removing anyway. ugh

    @leo@60228.dev @nullagent@partyon.xyz Ok, and how would it do any of that stuff without scanning every image you at least try to send or receive?

    @leo@60228.dev @nullagent@partyon.xyz The post also repeats long-debunked misinformation about Apple’s CSAM scanning plan. It was run on-device, but was never going to scan images simply sitting on your device. It was only for images sent to iCloud, as part of a plan to add end-to-end encryption for those images. The feature to scan images just sitting on a device was added 15 years ago and is called Spotlight.
