Facebug secretly opens a camera on iphones: a bug or a malicious behaviour?

OFC IT'S A BUG!!!! FB DOES NOT UPLOAD ANY PICTURES W/O AUTHORIZATION!!! FB IS GOOD!

/s

It's not unauthorized use, the user gave permission to use the camera.

Using the camera does not necessarily mean showing the live picture all the time.

@ddephor their agenda is two fold lol

It's a new feature that watches your facial expressions to make a guess on what you are feeling at the moment in order to show more relevant posts. /s

So don’t install Facebook, easiest fix in the book. Not sure why you would want it installed anyways

@Plasticnova While I don't have it on my phone neither, if you wanted to actually use it on a mobile device, their web version (or any wrapper app) would leave you infuriated. However for all that I know the official app could be equally bad ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

At no point was the preview content stored by the app or uploaded to our servers," Guy Rosen, VP Integrity at Facebook said.

Sure, and I don't need to eat daily.

they tried to fuck people over again, this time they failed

@NoToJavaScript I guess they did not expect iOS13 will have this cam-as-background feature? :D
