> The investigation, launched in 2025, established that access to a user's camera roll is requested with a single permission for the entire app, which the authority said covers multiple features with different needs. The authorization request was preceded by a generic warning that didn't allow users to understand that they were authorizing picture and video suggestions, the authority said.

That's kind of ridiculous though? Should there be multiple permissions for every different thing the app might want to do with your camera roll? Should a user constantly have to affirm access to the camera roll while using the app? Once should be enough!

		> Should there be multiple permissions for every different thing the app might want to do with your camera roll? Yes? Just because I want to share some pictures through an app doesn't mean I want it to go and do anything it wants with any picture on the device.

		If I share a single picture with friends I don’t want the app to then go through all the photos I’ve ever taken in my life.

		Or, you know, just don't aim to go through user's photos by default and just ask consent in the case a user enables/uses a feature that requires a photo to be sent to Facebook?

		When all you have is a huge hole in your national budget, everything looks like a finable offence.

		Only for Facebook, lmao. Smaller apps without deep pockets aren't held to this standard.
