The Meta AI app has created a major privacy problem. The Discovery Fed is full of users who are apparently unaware that they are publishing their conversation openly with a chatboat, including text conversations, audio clips and photos.
How did it happen? According to the Tech Crunch, when the Meta AI users go to ask a question in the app, they are given a button to share – a commonly enough online event – which leads to the screen that can be published. However, “publishing” the post in this case means publicizing publicly. Who can also give up comments?
Although Meta AI apparently warns users when they are going to publicly publish a conversation, it seems that those users have not been well discussed well, which has flooded the Discovery Fed with a variety of anxious, unhealthy and illegal consequences. From questions about quick and physical actions, if legal inquiries and employment documents are identified personal information, there is a serious problem of privacy.

Since consumers have no indication of what the privacy settings are, they may be fully unaware that what they are posting is being made very commonly – which makes them some extent because they have to visit through stress. A big problem? If you log in to MetaAI with Instagram, and you have a public profile on this social media account then your Meta AI activity is also.
Meta has not responded to the comments when contacted by a tech cranch or a fast company, but troll posts have already begun entering the feed as consumers are aware of the issue.
How to stay safe when using AI chat boats

You should always assume that your online activity suffers from confidentiality or security issues, especially when you are using a social media service.
Be careful about these details about your identity, your location, job and account details. Likewise, make sure you know which account of your account is linked to other accounts and when you share something, you pay attention to it and know where it will be post, and who will see it.
You should also know how you adjust your social media settings, your image’s permission and privacy settings on your accounts and your smartphone. This can be something that prevents you from being involved in fashing scams, social engineering attacks or identity theft.
An easy way to go about this is that I like to keep in mind the ‘Public Transportation Roll’: If you do not scream at the bus, it will probably not need to be distributed on the open internet.
