The "something else" in this metaphor is "suggest to the user they might want to edit a photo."
replyIt's not, Facebook processes the photos on their end and now also apparently feeds it to generative models to offer something (don't remember what exactly, managed to avoid this). At least that's what some options said last time I went exploring the app's settings page.
replyThis case was not about generative models at all.
replyWell then the next one might be. What I'm saying is that, per my recent memory, the options in Facebook settings menu around camera roll suggestions don't, in any way, even suggest the processing might be happening on-device only.
replyno, the "something else" was sending far more photos to their servers than the one they were, in the methaphor, "editing".
replyNo. The Italians are not accusing Meta of sending the photos in question to their servers -- just suggesting to users they might want to upload them.
replyso you're saying it's ok and consensual if I asked to get a drink from your fridge, and just ate all your food as well?
replyI'm saying, if you're going to my fridge, it's ok to ask me if I want a drink too.
