A user on twitter has posted about a "feature" of the Facebook app for Android that reportedly scans, compresses and then uploads Android users entire system library. There appears to be no way to opt out and no indication to exactly why Facebook would need to do this or what they achieve by doing it.
Jane Wong (@wongmjane on twitter) the person who appears to have been the first person to publically find and expose this "feature" notes: "the files are uploaded to a specific collection that’s related to my phone" which begs the question if this might violate Europe's GDPR laws on storing Personally Identifiable information.
This might prove to be another big blow to Facebook's already heavily tarnished reputation for breaching user's perceived privacy.
