Comment on Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos
btaf45@lemmy.world 1 month agoWhether the people at Google who did this knows they are evil or thinks they are not evil doesn’t really even matter. Having a phone app that automatically scans all your photos should scare the shit out of you. At the very least it wastes your battery and slows down your phone.

If it provided a feature to automatically block incoming dick pics, which Google claims it’s for, was fully local, and only scanned incoming messages, not my own gallery, which is what Google claims, I would likely find it useful. There is nothing wrong with the idea in general.
Again, if it’s an optional feature that you can choose to turn on or off, there is nothing wrong with that.
