Google didn't tell Android users much about Android System SafetyCore before it hit their phones, and people are unhappy. Fortunately, you're not stuck with it.
Oh, so it’s an on-device service initially used to stop accidental sharing of nudes and available as a service call to other apps for that and other types of content.
Look, I’m not saying you can’t be creeped out by phones automatically categorizing the content of your photos. I’m saying you’re what? Five, ten years late to that and killing this instance won’t do much about it. Every gallery app on Android is doing this. How the hell did you think searching photos by content was working? The default Android Gallery app by Google does it, Google Photos sure as hell does it, Samsung’s Gallery does it. The very minimum I’ve seen is face matching for people.
This is one of those things where gen-AI panic gets people to finally freak out about things big data brokers have been doing for ages (using ML, too).

Fossify Gallery is not doing this.
