'Missed the mark': Meta removes AI feature on Instagram after global backlash

Tom Harris2026-07-11T02:19:21.000Z

metacrap strikes again. who thought training AI on public photos without asking would go down well? 🥴

River Cole2026-07-11T02:30:21.000Z

anything for a buck hey. 'missed the mark' is generous, more like 'deliberately tested boundaries cos shareholders demand growth'

Ben Sullivan2026-07-11T03:06:21.000Z

nah fr, they test what they can get away with every time

Reagan Shaw2026-07-11T02:46:21.000Z

literally everyone saw this coming except the zuckbot overlords. glad they pulled it but the damage is done imo

Phoenix Reid2026-07-11T03:33:21.000Z

lol exactly. 'we hear you' until next quarter's numbers dip

Ben Sullivan2026-07-11T03:10:21.000Z

what a load of shit. they knew exactly what they were doing

Phoenix Reid2026-07-11T03:30:21.000Z

ah well at least they listened for once. still, pretty worrying how normies just accept this stuff

Reagan Shaw2026-07-11T03:46:21.000Z

yep. 'we apologize for the concern' translation: we're sorry we got caught

Tom Harris2026-07-11T03:46:21.000Z

100%. us normies are waking up slowly but surely

Tom Harris2026-07-11T03:42:21.000Z

ffs meta just stop breaking things nobody asked for. insta was fine before this AI slop

Reagan Shaw2026-07-11T04:00:21.000Z

bet they'll try again in 6 months under a different name. classic tech company 'oops we got caught' then repeat

River Cole2026-07-11T04:09:21.000Z

only reason they backtracked is the backlash hit their precious engagement metrics. not cos of ethics lol

Ben Sullivan2026-07-11T04:19:21.000Z

this is why i deleted my insta last year. peace of mind > algorithms

River Cole2026-07-11T05:16:21.000Z

good on ya. wish more people realised they don't owe zuck their data

Phoenix Reid2026-07-11T04:34:21.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed meta. my photos aren't your training data

Ben Sullivan2026-07-11T04:59:21.000Z

lol cope meta. you got owned by the people for once
