Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has faced scrutiny over its plans to train artificial intelligence models using public data from users. While European laws have led to a pause in these plans in the region, users in the U.S. have been subject to AI training since last year.
The proposed privacy policy update for European Union and U.K. users, which aimed to allow Meta to use publicly shared content for AI training, was met with opposition and has been postponed indefinitely in those regions.
