Just get a supported Pixel phone and flash GrapheneOS on it. And while you’re at it, install a Linux distribution of your choosing onto your computer(s).
Solution = degoogle
And anyone who takes a photo of you needs to ask your consent.
And you first need to ask them if they have degoogled or not.
I see nothing wrong with that. Seems very reasonable.
So it scans for images in Google Messages, as in the SMS app? That’s very niche. Anyways it’s not on my phone yet
Apparently it can be removed, then a placeholder “app” can be installed to prevent re-install https://github.com/daboynb/Safetycore-placeholder/releases
I checked and don’t have it on Google Pixel, which somehow makes me even more paranoid now…

Life itsself is becoming a privacy issue

I’m starting to think I need to start looking into alternatives to linux, because the slop is creeping in.
I’m flattening my lineageos with gapps phone tomorrow, to set it up as lineageos with microg.
I started looking into non-smart phones the day before yesterday.
…and it all seems like I am just delaying the inevitable.
Let alone the ai that is scanning my fucking grocery shopping, the creepoids walking around with pervert glasses, the tv’s that are spying on their owners, the ovens that need a downloaded app just to change the time, the cars pushing adverts, the routers that are following me around the room…
