Meta is set to resume training its AI models using content shared by adult users in Europe on Facebook and Instagram, while ensuring that private messages and data from users under 18 are not included. Users will receive notifications and can object to the use of their data for this purpose. This rollout follows a previous delay due to data protection concerns raised by the Irish Data Protection Commission and other EU authorities.
A jury has ruled against Meta in a data privacy case involving its Flo app, which is designed for women's health and wellness. The case highlighted concerns over how user data was handled and the implications for privacy rights in the tech industry. The verdict could set a precedent for future data privacy litigation against major tech companies.
