After training their AI using their publications and it is always possible to stop, goal is offended with a very casual option in the Facebook account configuration. Revealed by ZDNET, this feature allows you to permanently scan the photos of your smartphone to analyze them and offer “suggestions generated by artificial intelligence.”
The problem is that this option is activated by default, so it is probably at home, unless you have not accepted that Facebook “processes in the cloud” certain data.
Specifically, with this feature, Facebook can use the photos present on your device, but also in your metadata (date, places, people) to create summary messages of your adventures or even suggest contacts to add your friends through facial recognition.
A point that raises many questions about the privacy and confidentiality of these shots, even more if you tend to take many photos of everything and anything. Facebook can analyze an intimate photo without ever telling you.
Fortunately, there is a way to disable the option, and this goes through the mobile application (iOS or Android). Follow the Tech & Co.
Disable the exchange of your photos with Facebook
- Go to Facebook application
- Then click on your profile photo in the lower right part
- Go to the three -line menu in the upper right
- Then, once the menu is open, go to “configuration and confidentiality”
- Then click “Configuration”
- Move down to click “Share Suggestions from the movie”
- On the page that opens, deactivate the two options
Even if goal specifies having indicated it in its conditions of use, the social network has hidden the page well so that it is not easily visible. This is not the first time that Meta has been pointed out for its surprising vision of the privacy of its users.
In Europe, he had to accept to allow users not to be followed by it without having to pay a monthly subscription, which remains available in spite of everything, to have the validation notch.
