Meta's new privacy policy is facing a legal challenge in 11 European countries, over the way the company plans to use users' personal data to train AI models., allowing it to use both public and non-public user data collected since 2007 to train its AI models—something it says is permissible under current privacy legislation.
However, privacy campaign group Noyb says the policy—which will apply to Facebook, Instagram and Threads—is not quite as compliant as Meta claims. It has filed complaints in 11 European countries, asking their data protection authorities to launch an urgency procedure to prevent the move before it comes into force on June 26.
"Meta is basically saying that it can use any data from any source for any purpose and make it available to anyone in the world, as long as it’s done via 'AI technology'. This is clearly the opposite of GDPR compliance," said Nyob's Max Schrems.
