Brief news summary

Brazil's national data protection authority has ruled that Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, cannot use data originating in the country to train its artificial intelligence (AI). The decision comes as part of Meta's updated privacy policy, which allows the company to use people's public posts to feed into its AI systems. However, this practice will not be allowed in Brazil due to concerns about potential harm to individuals' fundamental rights. Brazil is a major market for Meta, with Facebook alone having over 102 million active users in the country. Meta has expressed disappointment with the ruling and believes its methods comply with privacy laws. The company has faced similar resistance in Europe and is already conducting this type of training in the US. The data protection authority has given Meta five working days to demonstrate compliance and established a daily fine of 50,000 reais ($8,820) for non-compliance.

This decision comes as Meta's updated privacy policy allows the company to feed public posts into its AI systems. However, this will not be permitted in Brazil due to concerns over potential damage to individuals' fundamental rights and privacy. With Brazil being one of Meta's largest markets, the company expressed disappointment, asserting that its practices comply with privacy laws in the country.

Meta has faced similar resistance to its privacy policy update in Europe, where plans to feed public posts into AI training systems were recently put on hold. In the United States, where no national law protects online privacy, such training is already taking place. The data protection authority in Brazil has demanded that Meta demonstrate compliance within five working days and established a daily fine of 50, 000 reais ($8, 820) for non-compliance.
