You Won't Have to Post It for Facebook to Scan It

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Facebook is rolling out a new AI feature that may give it deeper access to your phone than ever before, and most users won’t realize what they’re agreeing to.

The tech giant is now prompting some users to allow “cloud processing” of their camera roll, a move that enables Facebook to scan and upload photos stored on your device on an ongoing basis, according to Straight Arrow News.

The prompt, which appears when users attempt to create a new story, touts the feature as a way to “curate the best of your camera roll.”

But once you opt in, Facebook can continuously access photos based on time, location, and even who or what is in the picture. That includes photos you’ve never shared on the platform.

I'd advise not only no but fucking hell no.

1. Why I don't use my phone for anything other than

voice or text messages. Occasionally I'll Google something on the phone, but not very often. Everything else, such as reading or posting on DU, I do on the laptop I'm using right now.

and it pisses me off I cannot delete FB off my phone, I could only ever disable. Proud to say I have NEVER been a part of that POS site.
