Meta Platforms, Inc. has announced plans to use user data from its European Union applications, including Facebook and Instagram, to train its artificial intelligence models. The company clarified that the training data will include users' public posts, comments, and interactions with Meta AI, but will exclude private messages with friends and family. Training will be limited to users aged 18 and over. Meta stated it will inform its EU users of this plan this week via in-app notifications and emails.

Recently, companies like Meta and Spotify have united to publicly criticize the European Union's decisions in the fields of data privacy and artificial intelligence (AI). In an open letter, they pointed out that the EU's decision-making process has become 'fragmented and inconsistent,' which not only affects business operations but could also undermine Europe’s competitiveness in the AI era.
