Researchers found about 6,800 Muse links exposing chats with sensitive details, and Meta paused sharing. The quick response helps, but the privacy failure outweighs sales hopes.
People may hesitate to share sensitive details with Muse after this failure. Meta's quick pause and the closure of sample links limit continued access, but cannot erase the exposure. Analysts still expect higher sales, and some see future Muse income. Those are expectations, so they do not outweigh the trust problem.
Apple is mentioned because Meta said Muse can access its Messages app only when users opt in. The story reports no change to Apple's product or business.
