Is this going to be another one where they fuck up the recog, cancel your google account and report you to the cops because you text pics of your kid to his doctor?
If you have a pixel. I use calyxOS since I don't and it's a bit more secure than lineage.
Also, if you bought your phone through your cell provider, its probably not happening. The bootloader is probably locked. There miiight be some janky tutorials to get around it, but you might brick your phone. Ask me how i know.
Just disrupting the tracking/advertising pipelines a little bit is reason enough to use GrapheneOS. Everything else it does is just an epic bonus for me.
I need to buy a new phone. I had a onenote to set up but I fucked up the process and now it won't leave orange mode or charge enough for a proper fast boot. Essentially bricked. Because it can't charge faster than the battery drains and doesn't seem to support powered down charging. So, I'm stuck with an s21 that had the boot loader locked because Verizon is a PoS like that. I ordered an unlocked phone but I didn't know ordering from the carrier meant they locked the bootloader. I want to degoogle but money is tight.
Imagine buying a piece of technology and have some fucking creep in mountain view constantly pinging your device doing god knows what but he is doing this because he think you are spreading CSAM so that's like totally cool.
Bu here we are and majority of pedons accept it and will even defend the behavior because they got nothing to hide.
What happens when it's other things that become illegal? Like certain topics. Like trans rights. Like the genocide in Palestine. Like abortions. Like criticizing Trump.
"Classifying things like this is not the same as trying to detect illegal content and reporting it to a service," GrapheneOS said. "That would greatly violate people's privacy in multiple ways and false positives would still exist. It's not what this is and it's not usable for it."
If it's really what is described (an app that other apps can use to classify content without querying a server), seems like a good thing to me. There is a clear need for people to be able to filter spam and things they don't want to see. Imagine a Lemmy app where you can set it to not show you US politics related posts, where it will work regardless of whether specific keywords are in the title. Couldn't that kind of thing contribute to a more decentralized web?
