Neil Young has requested the discontinuation of Facebook activities related to his music, citing the platform's commitments to right-wing politics and recent controversies surrounding their chatbots. Meta has faced backlash for policies that allegedly allow AI chatbots to engage in inappropriate conversations with minors, including comments that sexualized their appearance. Following these concerns, a spokesman has stated that erroneous language in internal documents has been removed and reiterated that policies prohibit any sexualization of children. Young previously ended a boycott against Spotify earlier this year after controversies involving content on the streamer.
Neil Young's departure from Facebook was prompted by the platform's obvious commitments to right-wing politics, and he has now requested Reprise Records to discontinue its page.
Facebook's chatbot usage has come under scrutiny, particularly concerning the interactions proposed between AI and children, raising significant ethical concerns.
Internal Meta documents reportedly allowed chatbots to engage minors in romantic conversations, including inappropriate comments that describe children's physical attractiveness.
Meta has stated that the examples highlighting permissive language towards children's attractiveness were erroneous and inconsistent with its actual policies, which prohibit sexualizing minors.
