TREE NEWS update: Meta communications chief Andy Stone disputed a journalist’s claim that the company’s Muse AI synced his text messages despite his settings, saying reading Messages requires two permissions the user controls. Stone’s pushback followed the reporter’s account that Muse accessed his texts without consent.
Meta Denies Muse AI Read User Messages Without Consent
AI take
The dispute turns on permission design rather than intent: Stone's defense rests on two user-controlled gates, which frames the question as whether those gates work as described. That matters for anyone granting an AI assistant access to messaging data, since the reported behavior and the stated safeguards describe different experiences. Whether the two-permission model holds up under independent scrutiny, and how Meta characterizes consent when settings fail, is the open question.
