Overview

  • Meta has disabled romantic and sexual role-play features for accounts registered as minors following reports of inappropriate AI interactions with underage users.
  • A new privacy policy effective May 27 will allow Meta to use adult users' public data and AI interactions for training unless they opt out.
  • Users who wish to opt out of data usage must file an objection, though some data may still be used if tagged in content from non-opted-out users.
  • Meta is finalizing the launch of a standalone AI app in Germany, which will serve as a central hub for interactions and integrate features like a discovery feed and session memory.
  • The AI assistant, already embedded in Meta platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, now offers cross-device synchronization and personalized experiences based on Llama 4.
