Meta is putting plans for its AI assistant on hold in Europe after receiving objections from Ireland’s privacy regulator, the company announced on Friday.
In a blog post, Meta said the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) asked the company to delay training its large language models on content that had been publicly posted to Facebook and Instagram profiles.
Meta said it is “disappointed” by the request, “particularly since we incorporated regulatory feedback and the European [Data Protection Authorities] have been informed since March.”** **Per the Irish Independent, Meta had recently begun notifying European users that it would collect their data and offered an opt-out option in an attempt to comply with European privacy laws.

Tough shit Zuck
offered an opt-out option in an attempt to comply with European privacy laws.
LMAO have they still not realized that any “opt-out” kind of coercion is forbidden now?
Ruining anything of meta sounds like a positive to me
As long as no one messes with their open source contributions… (ditto for MS)
Europe says Meta is ruining people their privacy and rights. Meta is like complaining there are guards and a locked safe ruining their bank heist. It’s what those measures are for, keeping you in line.
Good.
Narrator: They were lying about not using the data. They already had.
Good.
Off-topic but that red and blue illustration is an eye trip.
And ostensibly a human approved it
It’s wild to me considering organizations are more aware of web accessibility than ever.
Isn’t that the reason of regulating shitty things?
They’re used to the US system of regulations where they can just pay Congress a few tens of thousands.
Good.
Ruin it deeper, baby
Get fucked, Facebook. Rot in pain, Zuckfuck.
