Meta disputes claim that Muse read a user’s private messages without permission

Summary

Meta disputes a claim by Inc. columnist Jason Aten that its AI agent Muse read a user's private Messages without permission. Meta VP of Communications Andy Stone said the Messages integration in the Muse Mac app is opt-in and requires both Full Disk Access and the Messages connector. Meta Superintelligence Labs executive David Singleton said Muse's permission steps cannot be circumvented even if the app had a bug, and that the AI gave an incorrect explanation of what happened.
