META launches a new feature that will allow Facebook and Instagram to continuously scan all your photos and video and upload them to their cloud
“Facebook is now using AI to scan every single photo and video within your phone — This is terrifying. Not only are they scanning those photos and videos, but then they're uploading it to the cloud continuously. It's operating continuously in the background scanning those photos to figure out the time of day, the location, the other people in your photos, that it can determine what it thinks you should post”
The scanning happens on-device using AI models for suggestions, but Meta can upload and process data to the cloud when you interact
It’s in opt in feature, so make sure to never opt in and if you have make sure to opt out
The service is called ‘Camera Roll Sharing Suggestions’
