🚨BREAKING: Google will soon install an app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore They say it's a "safety measure" to protect your #privacy, but in fact it's client-side scanning. Yet, we all know that client-side scanning is bad:

Germany opposes client-side scanning planned by EU - it would create an unprecedented surveillance monster that violates fundamental rights.

It'll install at 2:00 AM local time while you sleep so it's "worry free"

For those who run custom Android ROMs like GrapheneOS, remember that this will likely affect you indirectly. Anything you send to a stock Google Android user will be scanned. And if Apple hasn't already done this, they'll be the next target.

Deleted from my remaining non graphene android devices. Who wants to bet how long until it magically reappears?
