Meta’s Intrusive Data Tracking and Personalized AI Chat App
Recent revelations from former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams have reignited concerns about the company’s data tracking practices. Wynn-Williams testified that Meta can identify when users, especially teens, are feeling vulnerable and target them with ads accordingly. In addition, Meta’s new AI chatbot raises privacy concerns by tracking user information to personalize responses, pushing the limits on privacy more than its competitors. Despite some controls over data, Meta’s unmatched scale allows it to have a deep understanding of user preferences and behaviors, raising questions about the ethical use of such information.
