How would that make any difference in this case? Presumably, you'll have long-ago checked the "allow general access to the network" setting, so you've given consent to the "send my photo data" action. Heck, surely connecting to the internet in the first place is implicit consent that you want to send stuff over the network?
If I were actually given the choice, I would not check any checkbox allowing an application broad, unfettered access to the network. But, in most cases I'm not even given that choice!
