Meta is reportedly exploring the use of private, unpublished photos for AI training. According to TechCrunch, Facebook users attempting to use the Story feature are seeing prompts asking them to opt into "cloud processing." This feature would allow Facebook to access and upload media from users' camera rolls on a regular basis, ostensibly to generate content ideas like collages and AI restyling. The prompt specifies that agreeing to this feature also means agreeing to Meta AI terms, which permits the analysis of media and facial features. This move raises privacy concerns about the use of data that users have not explicitly shared publicly.
