Time to get microfiber cloth in addition to all my other privacy settings. Wipe that thing clean before taking pictures.
You can’t clean a sensor so easily. Especially on phones.
I think we’ll need some apps to generate artificial and randomized dust and scratches.
yeah, should probably buy a scratcher to scratch your camera every so often 😉
Sigh, of course they fucking do.
"As reported by Business Insider, the conversation according to SAI sources, went as follows.
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don’t know why.
Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb fucks."
I wonder if this has anything to do with the What’s App Privacy notice.
It’s a patent from 2015, it has nothing to do with it. To detect dust traces in photos facebook would have to be able to access the unencrypted photo; if facebook has access to your unencrypted whatsapp data, lens dust is the last of your concerns
As you cannot know if they are able to decrypt it, I would hedge my bets and just assume they can.
Consider using the native camera apps to click photos, and put a DIY camera cover (https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/ZWF9KqLntp.jpg) to avoid the in-app camera in Facebook apps.
