Meta denies its AI Muse read private messages without user consent despite journalist claims.

Meta has denied claims that its AI agent Muse accessed a journalist's private messages without permission, stating that the app requires explicit user consent through multiple security steps to read messages. The company emphasized that users must enable Full Disk Access and the Messages connector for Muse to access message content, which cannot happen without these permissions. Despite Meta's denial, skepticism remains due to the company's history of data privacy issues. The situation highlights the importance of trust in AI products, especially as Meta aims to lead in the consumer AI market. Meta is also investigating other reported incidents involving Muse's handling of user data.

Meta's recent denial of unauthorized access claims comes as the stock trades slightly down on Pluang, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. As of Sep 30, 2026 23:41 WIB, META shares are priced at USD 736.67, down 0.31% for the day, with a market cap of $1.88 trillion. The typical hold time for META on Pluang is 127 days, indicating a moderate-term interest among investors.
