Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”

    My older brother swipes through your phone’s photos without asking, so I put some colonoscopy pictures in there. He hasn’t tried to look at photos on my phone since.

    Oh Google what have you done to yourself.
