It’s not ‘all the things’, it’s just for children in your family group
On their website they say
Communication Safety now includes protections for sensitive videos and photos. And it extends beyond Messages to include content sent and received in AirDrop, the systemwide photo picker, FaceTime messages, Contact Posters in the Phone app, and third‑party apps.
and you can turn it on or off
..yea, but as mentioned I definitely did turn off the face recognition thing, what good is that if they sneakily switch it on again without asking you in 17.x?

It’s for children only. Unless you are a child in a family group being administered by an adult who has turned it on you have nothing to worry about.
The face recognition in the Photos app you refer to is not part of ‘Communication Safety’. As I said, the processing is done ‘on device’ so privacy should not be a concern.

It’s for voice notes in Messages, if you ever use them. I don’t.
