r/privacy is generally known for lying on posts for upvotes. Most of the kids there don't see where they put their stuff and complain that Facebook is spying on them. While Facebook collects a lot of unnecessary data, they mostly get it from what you give it to them. Other false posts on similar subs - https://old.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/howy5/whatsapp_is_using_the_camera_randomly_when_given/ https://old.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/howy5/whats... Clearly, the guy even knew why the camera was accessed. On android, when you swipe up to go home, the Whatsapp camera slides in just a tiny bit from the left (due to the swiping action) and it shows as camera accessed.

  In most cases. you have to give it to them somehow. They can't just collect it without you giving them the permission. They use lots of dark patterns and unethical means to get the information and trick people into submitting them.
