Meta pulls new AI image feature after days of backlash

DETAILED EXPLANATION

Meta pulled a feature from its new Muse AI image generator days after launch, following widespread backlash. The presets panel let anyone type another user's Instagram handle to directly edit that person's public photos, and all users had been automatically opted in without their knowledge.

Privacy International and Hollywood union SAG AFTRA criticized the tool, and Meta said it heard the feedback that the feature missed the mark and removed it.
