Android 10, Smart Reply and Signal

Hello,

I just noticed the specific smart reply feature being touted for Android 10. Specifically the capability for Android to read texts and apply intelligence to do automatic things like pulling up directions on Google Maps.

Normally a feature like this wouldn't bother me. However, the statement that it works for Signal does.

Now it seems Google now has the ability to read these texts. This may be innocuous now and people would probably argue that all the analysis is done locally. However, my concern is that now I have to trust Google to not send it to anyone else.

This seems eerily similar to Facebook's plan a little while back to backdoor all end-to-end encryption with a local service that will scan and report suspicious content. Do you agree?
