Disable "Play Protect" in your phone's Security settings

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

That's the only component? If so, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and similar would be protected against this, since they have neither Play Services nor Play Protect. Am I correct in my understanding?

Is there any evidence that this will really remove Google's ability to (a) see what's on your phone, and (b) delete whatever they want?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

No, because they can always push anything over Play Services updates. But right now it does disable it.

What about Think Shield? Found that next to Play protect in security settings
