During an inquiry into the influence and impacts of social media on Australian society, Meta’s global privacy director Melinda Claybaugh admitted that Meta scrapes the public photos, posts and other data of Australian adult users to train its AI models and provides no opt-out option.

The inquiry has shed light on gaps and loopholes within Australia’s privacy and cyber-security laws, which are in desperate need of reform.
