Meta’s Muse AI reportedly accesses Apple Messages without consent
- Published
A report claimed Meta’s Muse AI could access Apple Messages without consent, while Meta’s communications chief rejected that account and said reading Messages requires two permissions controlled by the user. The dispute centered on whether Muse synchronized a journalist’s texts despite his settings.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Apple Messages users are the ones who would notice this most immediately, because the dispute is about whether texts could be read without the permissions they set. It also puts privacy and security controls in view for people who use Apple Messages on Meta’s product.
In practice, the issue is whether Muse can read Messages at all without the two permissions Andy Stone described. What remains the same is that the argument is still about the settings a user controls, not about a change to Messages itself.
Market reaction i
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
