I meant more like where would you get these data from? I guess the most precise would be to actually seed a bunch of torrents to different ratios and then test retrievability after X months.

Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?

avif is also already fairly widely supported.

maybe the goal is instead to try to get ahead of regulation by implementing a system that is easily bypassed by most kids (like these video based age estimations). Then they can show this to the regulator and be like: "look were already doing everything we can, no need to actually put the regulation in place".

I mean it's just a cheap PR ploy anyway. Companies are not your friends. They are just as much dependent on payment processors like Mastercard as Steam and Itch. They probably just don't matter enough to get notice.

OP is. This is just a remix of a popular meme.

This is called plausibly deniable encryption, though you cannot hide the presence of the system itself.

GrapheneOS has a Duress PIN feature, which wipes your phone if entered.

it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more

From my cursory look at the APK this looks to be complete misinformation. The app has no permissions beside accessing the Internet and reading some basic device status information. It is not a system app either, so it cannot elevate its privileges beyond that. Therefore it can already do less than most other Google apps you have on your phone.

There's one main service that's exposed: the ClassificationApiService. Further, a machine learning library included - most likely for local/offline inference. And that all makes sense if you read what Google has to say about the app:

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. When the feature is enabled, and an image that may contain nudity is about to be sent or forwarded, it also provides a speed bump to remind users of the risks of sending nude imagery and preventing accidental shares.

Now all that said, Google should definitely communicate the intent of these applications better, and not silently install some suspicious looking app without consent. But if Google wanted more data from you - most of the time they can just ask you to share it - Where do you store your contacts? How do you share files with your other devices?

In any case I do think that this sort of client side scanning is still concerning, since it's now just one step away from forwarding images that trigger the classification service to law enforcement.

Promoting to another king should be allowed too

That performance curve seems terrible for any practical use.

Can be real fun though and often you get deeper insight into the subject than just attending a class or gain valuable connections into the institute.
