Mozilla Petition> Meta: Help Users Stop Accidentally Sharing Private AI Conversations

Meta recently launched its own AI app, like ChatGPT. The Meta AI app comes with a “Discover Feed” — a public stream of real user AI conversations posted by users. Meta says that users know that they're sharing their AI conversations publicly. But a number of posts suggest otherwise. You can find posts that appear to show users' personal data, medical issues, work problems, and calendar reminders in the Discover Feed.

Same, except WhatsApp instead of FB Messenger. I had no results trying to convince my family and friends to use other stuff

id rather be using whatsapp, honestly

it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data

(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)
