Meta uses public Instagram photos for AI training unless users opt out

Meta has begun allowing its Muse Image AI model to generate images using photos from public Instagram accounts. The policy applies automatically, meaning users must actively opt out if they do not want their content used. This change comes as part of Meta's broader rollout of its Muse Image generation model. Users with public accounts are affected by default, placing the responsibility on individuals to protect their content. The move has raised concerns about consent and data usage on the platform.
