Meta is facing a legal challenge from a Norwegian consumer protection group over its plans to use images and posts from Facebook and Instagram to train artificial intelligence models. The complaint, filed by Stephen Treloar, highlights concerns over user privacy, as there is no way for users in the US to opt out other than deleting posts or making their accounts private. The controversy has led some artists to leave Instagram, citing worries about how their public posts will be used by Meta's AI training initiatives.
