#Meta#Privacy#Data Collection#Chatbots#Surfshark

š„ What happened
Surfshark analyzed 13 AI chatbots: Meta AI collects 33 of 35 possible data types, and its new agent Muse grabs 31. Both access sensitive info like health or sexual orientation.
š” Why it matters
For comparison: ChatGPT collects only 17 data types, DeepSeek 14, Pi just 3. Meta uses your chats for AI training by default ā you must manually opt out.
ā” Our take
If you think Meta's agents are smart assistants, you're paying with privacy. The 'Secure VM' blocks third parties ā not Meta itself.
The title, summary and analysis of this item were produced automatically by an AI system and have not been editorially reviewed. They may contain errors, bias or omissions ā when in doubt, read the linked original source.
