< P > ZDNET drew attention to numerous Internet discussions where users express anxiety about the features of a new tool from Google. Google SafetyCore's application is designed to protect personal data and scans the entire photo gallery. It was introduced in October 2024 during the last update of the Android system, but users noticed privacy violations only now.

< P > Google states that the entire scanning process is locally, and the images and their content remain encrypted. The statement stresses that a warning of sensitive content does not allow Google to access the content of images, and the company does not know that they may be detected.

< p > However it did not reassure users. Many are outraged that Google has installed the application without their knowledge, and it works in the background without apparent consent. This means that most people did not even know its existence until the information began to spread on the network.

One of the ZDNET editors noted that the application in his phone was quietly installed in the background and scans all the data, and if you remove the IM & Rsquo; I am Google, then this is a textbook behavior of malicious software. By the way, the application can be deleted and manually.
