So, yes my cheap old phone had Android System Safety Core installed, I need to clean my parents' devices tomorrow. I learned about this spyware here in Mastodon.
@wiert No idea if this is related, but just after the last Android update on my Samsung A53, almost every file on the SD card on the phone vanished. Years of stuff gone. Managed to get my photos back from cloud stuff, but so much more gone. I've now done the 'remove #AndroidSystemSafetyCore' thing, so maybe it'll leave my personal stuff the fuck alone going forward... Not confident though!

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn’t appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same – scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so “to protect your #privacy“. You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.For more information, see:

Android System SafetyCore è la nuova applicazione di sicurezza di Google che scansiona le immagini sul vostro dispositivo (e che Google ha installato senza chiedervelo)
La nuova applicazione di Google Android System SafetyCore scansiona localmente documenti e immagini e vi avvisa in caso di spam o nudità.
Veel discussie vandaag over de schaduw installatie van de #AndroidSystemSafetyCore app vanuit de GooglePlayStore bij een app update verbinding. De gebruiker wordt niets gevraagd, ook geen permissions/machtigingen. Is dit alleen een bijdrage aan de Android beveiliging of iets anders? Een analyse leert: het is een backdoor, een soort #Chatcontrol. Deze service app kan niet ge-disabled worden, bij de-installatie wordt deze weer opnieuw geïnstalleerd bij de store update. Met export machtigingen. 1/3
@jwalzer I think that's another instance of an exaggerated panic.
It's not enabled by default, it only affects Google Messages, and it is an optional, well, opt-in feature for people to obscure potential nudes locally.
(I happily hate and vent on #Google all day long, but this panic is slightly ridiculous.)
Google is quietly installing a hidden app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore on Android devices. 📱
Its purpose? 🔍 To scan your images — even incoming ones — all in the name of "protecting your #privacy."
Stay informed and in control! 🔐 #PrivacyMatters #AndroidTips #TechNews
Removed #AndroidSystemSafetyCore from my Android phone. Check check check sigh.
Doing my bit for other people's privacy by removing #AndroidSystemSafetyCore off their #Android phones.
After all, caring is sharing that #Google are sneaky bastards!
Fuck af, Google! Appen #AndroidSystemSafetyCore skanner alle billeder på din Android mobiltelefon såvel som alle indgående (via beskeder). #privatliv #google #android

I've seen the post urging to remove #AndroidSystemSafetyCore showing up a dozen of times in my timeline. While it's sane to pay attention to what's running on the phone, it doesn't mean to blindly follow random advice?

Looks like #AndroidSystemSafetyCore is already on my Android device ... Maybe I should buy that @jolla handset after all ... #privacy
