Google didn't tell Android users much about Android System SafetyCore before it hit their phones, and people are unhappy. Fortunately, you're not stuck with it.
GrapheneOS — an Android security developer — provides some comfort, that SafetyCore “doesn’t provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.”
It’s nothing, until it incorrectly flags your family pics as CP, keeps a count of how often it does that even though the pics are long gone, and a cop checks your phone for some reason.
Or until it gets programmed to also flag users who have specific memes on their phone, or it starts running sentiment analysis on your memes and puts you on a list of potential dissenters to the coup.

Seems like a huge nothingburger
