Meta Caught Stealing Your Instagram Photos for AI

Imagine a stranger using your Instagram photos to create deepfakes of you just by typing your username. That was Meta’s creepy new reality last week before they got caught red-handed. They quietly launched an AI tool called Muse, feeding it your public pictures without asking. Anyone could type your handle and generate weird digital fantasies of you. No notification. No warning. Just a buried opt-out setting designed to be ignored.\n\nBut after massive outrage from Hollywood unions and safety groups, Meta folded in just three days. They deleted the feature, proving once again that big tech will take whatever they want until you scream. Keep your accounts locked down, because Mark Zuckerberg is always watching.
