Facebook has begun scanning users' unuploaded photos on their devices to generate AI content ideas. This feature asks for permission to access the camera roll, claiming to enhance creativity by suggesting AI-edited versions of photos. By agreeing to this access, users accept extensive terms of service that permit Meta to analyze and store user images. The functionality raises privacy concerns, as users may unknowingly consent to broader data usage and AI analysis of their media and personal features.
Facebook is now accessing the photos on your phone that you haven't even uploaded yet, so it can generate story ideas. That means they're scanning our camera roll, faces, location, time stamps, and more - and you might not even realise that you said yes.
To create ideas for you, we'll select media from your camera roll and upload it to our cloud on an ongoing basis, based on info like time, locations or themes. However, the larger issue is that giving permission for cloud processing also requires agreeing to Meta's AI Terms of Service.
