Yep, tho the same power applies for a lot of an operating system so I see a basic level of trust for the developer as a prereq for even running the OS. If I didn’t trust the dev enough not to silently turn features into spyware then I’d never run the OS at all, personally (so anything Google makes is a hard pass for me). People should always follow release notes and be reevaluating their trust ofc, but if you’re actively expecting malware to be slipped into your shit I personally just wouldn’t give them the chance

If it’s silently installed / enabled by default, hard agree. (again, didn’t read the article so only familiar with apple’s version and not defending Google’s)

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
