Meta Updates AI Content Rules, Emphasizes Labeling Over Takedowns

Meta is changing how it handles AI-made content on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Instead of deleting these posts, Meta will now label them as "Made with AI" to help people know what's real and what's not. This is important, especially in a big election year, because fake images, videos, and voices could trick voters. Meta hopes these labels and slower spreading of false posts will stop confusion. But, some worry that people might ignore too many labels or that fake content will still slip through.

EU fines LinkedIn €310M for GDPR, AI data privacy violations

LinkedIn was hit with a huge €310 million fine by EU regulators because it used people's data for ads and AI without getting clear permission.

This fine warns other tech companies to be careful with how they collect and use personal data, especially when using AI. The case shows the EU is getting tougher about protecting people's privacy online.
