Meta pauses AI training on EU/EEA user data after DPC intervention

The Irish Data Protection Commission announced that Meta has committed to stop processing EU/EEA user data for undefined AI techniques following 11 noyb complaints. Meta had previously relied on a "legitimate interest" argument. The commitment is not yet reflected in a legally binding change to Meta's privacy policy.

Why it matters: The halt of Meta's AI data processing in the EU underscores heightened regulatory scrutiny under the GDPR.
