Idk why this comment is down voted. The users actively consented to giving access to the camera roll, in what world does that mean accessing the camera roll after that consent is a hundreds of millions of dollars fine?

Because it turns out consent doesn't work that way. It has to be informed, it doesn't count if there's trickery.

Just because you have the physical ability to upload some data doesn't mean it's legal to.

Users consent to give access to the camera roll so to be able to upload specific photos from the gallery, not for Meta to get photos from there like it's an open buffet.
