(on radio 1 they have "image" idents which basically is where they have customised jingles that sound like the song theyre about to play so its more seamless. but i've heard them so many times now i can tell what song its gonna be based on the jingle)

i love subtle misinformation on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!

if you took 5 minutes to read the linked page you would see that all this does is enable a google messages feature called “Sensitive Content Warnings”

and according to the page linked to that:

Sensitive Content Warnings is an optional feature that blurs images that may contain nudity before viewing, and then prompts with a “speed bump” that contains help-finding resources and options, including to view the content.

All of this happens on-device to protect your privacy and keep end-to-end encrypted message content private to only sender and recipient. Sensitive Content Warnings doesn’t allow Google access to the contents of your images, nor does Google know that nudity may have been detected. This feature is opt-in for adults, managed via Android Settings, and is opt-out for users under 18 years of age.

(emphasis mine)

you could argue that “oh it’s a slippery slope and if we allow this to happen they might silently update it to be more invasive” . okay sure if that happens but i don’t see any reason to disable a genuine safety feature because it might be worse in the future

i am once again saying: it is possible for a big tech company to do something that isn't pure evil. you don't have to resist every single change google makes just because it looks spooky at first glance
