These intrusive app rollouts are why they want to disable open source repositories. I have google photos disabled, and use gallery from fdroid. I have to manually leave the camera to look at photos but at least if I take a pic in private it probably stays private.

This system is being built to coordinate the control of our lives...I feel like I'm watching a slow moving disaster powered by the unparalleled mental prowess of the average American.
Well thats just lovely
Don't store your photos on other people's computers. Store them on your computer.
Hope this helps.

I have Fossify Gallery as my default image viewer but I'm still using the pre-installed Google camera app. Am I affected by this scanning? I haven't gotten around to checking out other camera apps.
