Brazil authority suspends Meta's AI privacy policy, seeks adjustment
The HinduBrazil's National Data Protection Authority has decided to suspend with immediate effect the validity of Meta's new privacy policy for the use of personal data to train generative artificial intelligence systems in the country. ANPD's preventive measure was published in Brazil's official gazette on Tuesday and puts on hold the processing of personal data across all Meta products, including those of people who are not users of the tech giant's platforms. Meta will need to adapt its privacy policy to exclude the section related to the processing of personal data for generative AI training, according to the Brazilian authority. Meta said in a statement that it was "disappointed" by ANPD's decision, adding that the move represents a "setback for innovation" and will delay the arrival of AI benefits to the people of Brazil.
