Meta's child safety settlement questioned over data use for AI training

Meta has reached a settlement with 29 states regarding child safety on its platforms, but the terms raise questions about the use of children's data for AI model training. Critics are skeptical because the agreement appears to prevent states from suing Meta under existing child safety laws, including COPPA, related to their data retention and usage. However, COPPA is a federal law enforced by the FTC, which is not a party to this settlement, leaving the implications for federal enforcement unclear. Furthermore, the specifics of what data Meta will retain for training models, including behavioral information and its duration, remain undisclosed. AI
