Meta's Muse is better at watching you than helping you
Meta's Muse is the new app that keeps the company's favorite habit: it collects your data for AI training whether you agree or not. But this one goes further. It nudges you to share your bank account, your email, and even your passport. That last one is the real tell — Meta wants your passport data, and it's asking nicely.
The app is supposed to be helpful. Instead, it's more interested in surveillance than service. Every prompt is a chance to hand over another piece of your life for the AI engine.
Why this matters for us: if Meta's building its AI on our bank accounts and passports, it's quietly building a profile on Brown families the way la migra builds one on us — through data we hand over without really noticing.
“Meta wants your passport data. It's asking nicely.”
