Meta is facing backlash after launching a new AI feature that asks users to upload photos for personalized suggestions. Privacy alarm bells are ringing across the internet.
The issue started as users noticed the app’s push for photo uploads, which many see as invasive. Critics worry about how their images will be stored, used, or potentially exposed.
Soon after, privacy advocates and social networks lit up with concerns over possible data misuse. Meta has yet to respond with detailed privacy specifics. 
The launch follows a growing trend in AI tools leveraging personal data more aggressively. But this move may backfire if users reject sharing sensitive content.
