Meta's AI agent 'Muse' takes social media handles from rock band Muse

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The English rock band Muse has reportedly lost its social media handles on platforms like Instagram and X to Meta's new AI agent, also named Muse. The exact process by which Meta acquired these usernames is unclear, but it has led to instances where Meta executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, accidentally tagged the band's accounts when posting about the AI. This situation echoes previous instances where Meta has acquired prominent social media handles, such as the @Meta handle from a motorcycle magazine and the @threads handle from a fashion retailer, raising concerns about large platforms commandeering established identities.
