A lawsuit accuses Meta of harvesting user data without consent to build AI and facial recognition tools. The case challenges whether Meta's terms of service actually allow them to use personal photos and information for commercial AI development.
Facebook users didn't opt into being training data for Meta's AI products—they signed up to use a social network. The lawsuit argues that using that data for AI without explicit consent violates privacy law. If it succeeds, it could force Meta to either get explicit consent or delete the data used to train its models.
