    If this is done locally on-device with no reporting back to Google, it could be a really good feature - the way Apple does it isn’t censorship, it just blurs the picture to give you a heads up “hey this is nudity, you wanna see this right now?”. You can click into it to see the original whenever you want, and it’s just a nice layer of protection to make sure you actively wanted to see whatever it was (and specifically right now). I hope google’s implementing it the same way, but I don’t trust them enough to bet on it and I couldn’t be bothered to read the article lol
