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

Key points

• Meta is fighting back against a journalist’s claim that its AI agent Muse read the user’s private messages without permission.
• The steps involve explicitly choosing to grant Muse Full Disk Access, which would then allow the user to choose what level of access Muse is being granted to the Messages app (i.e., None, Read only, or Read).
• Doing this triggers a full restart of the Muse app, Singleton wrote, which makes it even less likely that such a choice could be made accidentally without the user’s knowledge.
