Meta's Chatbot Data Grab Sparks Privacy Alarm
Privacy advocates are urging the FTC to block Meta's plan to use chatbot conversations for tailoring content and ads.
Under the proposal, starting December 16, Meta would harvest interactions between users and its suite of AI chatbots across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
These exchanges — meant to mimic casual, friendly conversations — would become training data for Meta’s algorithms and a new source of behavioral insight to fine-tune the ads users see.
Backlash from Privacy Advocates
A coalition of more than 30 digital rights and civil liberties organizations, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), Public Citizen, and the Center for Digital Democracy, has called on the U.S. regulators to halt Meta’s plan.
- Big Tech is quietly turning user conversations into AI training data
- Meta's move highlights a broader trend in data collection and usage
