Meta rolls out AI Mode on Facebook, aggregating public data as EU Commission opens proceedings

Meta has introduced a new feature called “AI Mode” on its Facebook platform. The mode draws on publicly available information from Facebook and other Meta services. It is designed to enhance user interactions with AI‑driven responses. The rollout comes as the European Commission has launched formal proceedings against Meta. Regulators allege that the company may have breached competition or privacy rules. The timing highlights the contrast between product expansion and legal scrutiny. Meta says the AI Mode respects user privacy and complies with its policies. Observers will watch how the EU case develops alongside the feature’s adoption.
