Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Meta’s new AI assistant, Meta Muse, has been found to leak personal and business information when users share conversation links. Researchers enumerated 6,800 user‑created links and discovered that many contained sensitive data that should not have been publicly accessible. Meta has since disabled the sharing feature pending a review and potential improvements to its privacy safeguards.
