Uninstall this as soon as it appears on your Android phone: [Wayback/Archive] Google System APK Transparency  |  Android Binary Transparency  |  Google for Developers

Via [Wayback/Archive] jack: “You remember #Apple scanning a…” – Mastodon @ SDF:

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn’t appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google.

You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.
