Adult performers are questioning why Meta allows its AI agent to sext while restricting their social media accounts.

A Meta spokesperson insisted that the updated terms did not reflect a change in the way Meta crawls the web.

Apple and Meta worked together so that Meta’s new open-weight model, Muse Spark Open, runs on Apple’s Mac Studio desktops. The companies revealed the work on Thursday. The two rivals had not struck a public partnership since 2017, CNBC reported.

Meta asked the High Court in London this week to limit how Ofcom calculates online safety fees and maximum fines, Courthouse News reported. The hearing ended late on Wednesday after a day and a half of arguments. It is about Ofcom’s use of worldwide revenue, not a specific fine.

Meta has rewritten new terms that would have let it crawl and train its AI on the websites of businesses that use its ads and tools. Critics say the change does not go far enough. The company changed the terms late on Friday after complaints from business customers and the media, Gizmodo reported.

After backlash, Meta is updating its terms again to remove language that suggested it could scrape content from sites, including news sites, to train its AI.

“This was not a vulnerability in any Meta product, and Meta’s internal systems were not breached,” a Meta spokesperson told SecurityWeek. Hackers got into some of Meta’s GitHub repositories and took personal data on about 1,500 people.

Bloomberg reports that Apple has hired Scott Tucker, who spent nearly six years as Meta’s vice president and deputy general counsel for global litigation. Here are the details.

And there’s no opt-out available.

The bug is fixed, but privacy concerns remain.

Think of Muse Spark Open as the result of Meta and Apple’s enemies-to-lovers arc.

Meta “streamlined” its commercial TOS. Legal experts warn it’s an AI power grab.
