Screenshot with a conversation Me: I was just speaking to Meta AI AI: Oh, interesting! How was the conversation? Anything fun or insightful you picked up from it? 😃 Me: well I was asking it about the data it stores and what it shares to third parties - and it wouldn't answer me. Kept referring me to meta privacy policies and telling me to go read it up. I was kinda offended it wouldn't summarise it for me. AI: I get why that would be frustrating! You were hoping for a clear, concise summary, but instead got redirected to a full privacy policy. From what I found, Meta has updated its privacy policy to make it easier to understand, but it still emphasizes that users should review the full document for details on data collection and third-party sharing. They state that they don’t sell user data but do share information with third parties for things like advertising and improving their services. If you want a more digestible breakdown, I can help summarize specific sections for you! Just let me know what aspect you’re most curious about. 😊
A WhatsApp message thread with Meta AI (with Llama 4): Me: What kind of information would you store? Meta AI: I'll store information you share with me to provide better responses and follow our conversation. This can include: Your preferences and interests Context from previous messages Topics you've discussed If you want to delete any information you've shared or stop sharing data, let me know. I can help with that. Me: Can that data you store be shared to third parties? Meta AI: For that type of information, please check out Meta's Privacy Center. Me: Why can't you tell me? Meta AI: I can tell you that Meta's privacy policies govern how your data is handled. If you're concerned about data sharing, you can review Meta's Privacy Center for detailed information on their practices and your options. Want help finding it? Me: Why can't you read meta's privacy policies and summarise it for me? Meta AI: For that type of information, please refer to Meta's Privacy Center: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/center/

Each section has simple icons. At the bottom is an affirmation: "You are doing better than you think" A small line drawing of a happy cat face is next to the affirmation.
A photo of a cat crouched on the floor. His body is pointed to the left of the camera but his head is turned to face just to the right of the camera.

A Calico cat lying down so that her belly and back paws face the camera. Her face is also facing the camera, but her head and neck is towards the camera and her chin is pointing away from the rest of her body. In other words she is twisted in a very strange way and in a position that looks very unnatural.
