The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has approved Meta's plan to collect data from European citizens for AI training, despite ongoing legal challenges. Meta made significant improvements to address earlier DPC concerns, including enhancing transparency and updates to their objection procedures. The DPC requires Meta to compile a report on these safeguards and their effectiveness, due in October. Despite this clearance, privacy advocates remain critical of Meta's intentions, highlighting ongoing opposition to the data collection efforts.
"Having reviewed Meta's proposals, and following feedback from the other EU/EEA supervisory authorities, the DPC made a number of recommendations to Meta."
"Meta has updated its transparency notices; made its objection form easier to use, available for longer, and accessible in its mobile apps; lengthened its notice period."
