Following last year’s announcement, Google Messages is rolling out Sensitive Content Warnings that blur nude images on Android…
I imagine to do this they’ll be uploading and scanning all of your text messages.
Edit: I was wrong! They say they won’t.
Why imagine when you can just read the article?
For adults, Sensitive Content Warnings are opt-in and disabled by default
This image classification, which does not currently apply to videos, works on-device and is powered by Android System SafetyCore, which “doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers.”
That’s good to know. I don’t believe them, but at least they have not gone full-out with it.
It’s insane that those fuckers think they have the right to adjust and regulate what we send to each other
They will read it, regulate it and then still send you ads based on the things sent to you that they looked at and deemed you could not see.
You know this is a feature, not a requirement, and that it is optional - and is off by default for adults, right?
Why’s google peeking into private messages into the first place? There’s bad apples everywhere, knowing humans especially men, there’s some employees filling their wank banks with whatever we’re sending to each other
It’s all processed on device. If you don’t trust that that’s the case, then I assume you believe that Google employees looking at photos is already happening.
This could be a helpful tool for those trying to above harassment (unwilling recipients of dick pics)
Well, it is, we know that for a fact. For both it being a helpful tool and the fact that Google looks at your private pictures.
For now.
Once it’s available, it’s a matter of time before Mike Johnson or some Florida man politician makes it illegal to see anything on your screen without the 850-Porn-Bud hotline calling to check on you.
They don’t, and that’s not happening here.
What about people sending unwanted nude pictures to other?
