Hey Reader,

I don’t usually send emails like this, but this one seriously crossed a line.

Facebook is now scanning your phone’s camera roll - automatically - and suggesting images for collages/stories.

Nope, you didn’t ask it to.
Nope, you didn’t give it permission.
Yep, it’s doing it anyway.

And here’s the kicker: it’s turned ON by default.​
So if you don’t want Facebook digging through your personal photos, you have to manually go in and disable it.

Social media is literally my job. I’m in the Meta Ads Manager and Business Center every day, building organic and paid campaigns for clients. I know how these platforms work under the hood.

And this new “feature”? It’s not okay.

I already turned it off and deleted the app from my phone. That level of access to my camera roll (and pics of my kids?!)? Hard pass.

If you want to shut it down too, here’s how: How to stop Facebook from scanning your camera roll

More updates, resources, and real talk marketing advice coming soon. But this one couldn’t wait.

xo,

Courtney
