Introduction to counter-abuse technology at Google

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Google describes concrete systems: Pixel 6/6 Pro factory images are logged so anyone can verify firmware hashes via Binary Transparency, and a second Binary Transparency rollout signs and logs on-device anti-abuse model updates so devices check provenance before applying them. Messages by Google uses end-to-end encryption for RCS while still applying on-device protections for phishing and scams, and the device skips unverified models and waits for a verifiable update, with plans for multiple logs and external witnesses.
