If you have an #Android phone remove the newly installed app called "Android System SafetyCore".

Google installed it on your device without telling you since it scans all the images on your phone and all the images from incoming messages "to protect your #privacy "

From that thread:

"The app 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."
