@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @jonny@neuromatch.social @nullagent@partyon.xyz Here's a thread on what it is: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113969399311251057 It's tiring going through endless news cycles of fake privacy and security threats and we don't really have the energy to deal with it more than that. We're dealing with ongoing attacks on GrapheneOS on X by several different charlatans/scammers and we've been focused on dealing with that rather than writing about something like this. Threw together a quick thread about what it is though.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @jonny@neuromatch.social @nullagent@partyon.xyz "The app doesn't provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc." Forgive me if I'm not understanding correctly, but to clarify: That statement could be misconstrued to suggest that "on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content" is different and distinct from "client-side scanning". To clarify, those're two ways of saying the same thing, with one being more specific. Do you really intend to just point out that it doesn't report things to Google or anyone else by default, and/or that the "client side scanning" is a scan-on-request thing, and not a let's-scan-the-whole-device-by-default thing? What's stopping any app from using the output of the "on-device machine learning models" to report to third parties?
