Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has updated its privacy policy, allowing it to collect and use data from public Facebook posts to train its artificial intelligence (AI) systems starting in 2024. This move has raised concerns among privacy advocates and regulators about the potential misuse of personal information. The policy change permits Meta to scrape public posts, comments, and other content from Facebook to improve its AI models for various purposes, including content moderation, ad targeting, and product development. While Meta claims this will enhance user experiences, critics argue it could lead to privacy violations and the exploitation of user data without explicit consent. The updated policy also allows Meta to collect data from third-party websites and apps that use its services, further expanding its data collection capabilities. Privacy experts warn that this could enable Meta to create detailed profiles of individuals, even those who do not use its platforms, raising ethical and legal questions about data privacy and user autonomy.
