UK-based charity defending privacy rights worldwide
Meta has discontinued Muse Image, its Instagram-linked AI image generator, following privacy concerns. The feature, which automatically enrolled public accounts for image generation, is no longer available. The move comes after swift criticism from creators, unions and privacy advocates, who argued the feature violated consent and risked non-consensual image manipulation.
Apple has filed a fresh challenge at the UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal against the government’s demand to access encrypted iCloud data. The move follows a long-running dispute over “backdoor” access and the UK’s use of technical capability notices to compel data access, with the government defending encryption protections while arguing for proportionate access in serious crimes.
