Meta was ordered by a court to disclose the list of executives who approved the use of pirated downloads to train its AI.

In several copyright infringement lawsuits targeting Meta over AI training, courts have ruled that Meta must explicitly identify the executives who authorized the downloading of pirated books from shadow libraries such as Anna’s Archive and LibGen. Previously, Meta had shifted responsibility to frontline employees, claiming that its early AI data collection was an “informal process” and that no one had “formally decided” to carry out the downloads.

Meta Muse’s sharing feature has a privacy vulnerability: the generated conversation links are easily enumerable, leading to the leakage of personal and business secrets.

Security firm Clarot discovered that Meta’s newly launched AI agent, Muse, generates URLs with insufficient randomness when the conversation-sharing feature is enabled, allowing attackers to obtain 6,800 user-shared links through simple enumeration; among these, hundreds of links exposed non-public personal and business-sensitive information. Meta has suspended this sharing feature and initiated a review.
