At the time, Google assured me that SafetyCore was an enabling framework and would not actually start scanning photos or other content.

I audibly snorted at this.

Well that time has now come and it starts with Google Messages. As reported by 9to5Google, “Google Messages is rolling out Sensitive Content Warnings that blur nude images on Android.”

I know whenever my phone announces of its own accord that it’s figured out that an image on my phone is a nude, the first word that comes to mind is “safe.”
