Meta* was caught secretly spying on users.
The Italian authorities fined the company 805 million euros for a gallery tips feature on the banned social network Facebook. The option offered users photos and videos from the gallery as ideas for posting.
The problem was hidden by the fact that the company did not ask for separate consent to access the files on the phone, but contented itself with a general permission to run the application. In this case, the photo and video access setting was activated automatically.
