US EditionMeta AI App Exposes Users' Private Chats in Discover Feed
- Meta's AI chatbot app, launched on April 29, posts users' queries and AI responses publicly on a social media-like Discover feed often without users’ awareness.
- This occurs because Meta does not clearly indicate where or how privacy settings apply, causing users to unintentionally share sensitive personal or legal information publicly.
- Investigations by BBC and TechCrunch found examples of private medical questions, school test photos, and legal inquiries linked to users' identifiable Instagram profiles.
- Rachel Tobac, chief executive of Social Proof Security, highlighted the issue as a significant problem affecting both user experience and security, stemming from users' privacy expectations not aligning with how the tool actually operates.
- The privacy gaps have raised security alarms and might erode trust and hinder adoption of Meta's AI tools unless transparency and default protections improve.
