- YouTube, TikTok and other platforms tighten rules to curb AI slop
TechNews roundup reports that as generative AI spreads through creative workflows, YouTube, TikTok, Substack, Pinterest, Meta, LinkedIn and Snapchat have recently adjusted rules on labeling, recommendation and monetization of AI content. The shared direction is to allow AI-assisted creation while limiting formulaic, repetitive or algorithm-gaming "AI slop." YouTube says using AI to strengthen original storytelling is not banned, but formulaic or emotionally manipulative content may lose monetization eligibility, and it continues to require disclosure of AI-generated or heavily AI-modified content; TikTok requires AI labels, adds invisible watermarks to some videos' metadata, tests detection aimed at accounts that mass-post AI slop, and lets users adjust how much AI content they see. Snapchat said Spotlight will no longer recommend or reward fully AI-generated videos, Meta is extending AI labels to AI-made ads, Pinterest and Substack offer labels and tools for readers to estimate AI use, and LinkedIn acknowledged a large volume of AI slop on its platform and said it would take limiting measures.
科技新报 · 🔥 3 - Meta gives Facebook users an AI-powered tool to customize their recommendation algorithm
Meta announced on October 13 local time that it is offering Facebook users an AI-driven recommendation customization tool called "Your algorithm," letting people manage personalized feeds using natural language. Users can add content-preference tags, and after marking items as "interested" or "not interested," Facebook asks a short series of follow-up questions to refine the ranking algorithm. Meta says LLMs can capture the interests, context and intent behind natural language, making recommendations adapt faster and more accurately to individual tastes.
IT之家 AI · 🔥 0 - Meta removes AI-training language from its commercial terms
Meta updated its commercial terms of service to state it could use any content from a business account's domains, web pages or URLs to provide, develop, improve, research, train and maintain its products and services, which legal experts said could let it scrape publishers' sites for AI training. The terms were due to take effect on October 30, with businesses accepting them by continuing to use Meta's commercial products. After criticism from publishers and media groups, Meta removed the language, saying the consolidated crawling terms only ever applied to its ads and business products and that it has not changed how its web crawlers work.
The Verge AI · 🔥 27 - OnlyFans creators challenge Meta over Muse's explicit sexting policy
WIRED reports that Meta's AI agent Muse is allowed to hold explicit sexual conversations with adult users, generating explicit text but not images or videos. Meta spokesperson Tracy Clayton told WIRED that a private, one-to-one conversation between an adult and an individualized AI agent on an adults-only app is "very different" from marketing and promoting services on a social platform; Meta has also said it would not "block legal adult behavior." Several OnlyFans creators told WIRED their Instagram accounts are frequently restricted while Muse is permitted to talk dirty, calling it a double standard and raising questions about how Muse was trained and whether anyone was compensated for their data. WIRED also reports that Meta's distribution through Instagram and Facebook helped push the Muse app to the top of download charts in its first month.
WIRED AI · 🔥 6 - Meta brings AI-powered "Your Algorithm" to Facebook and Reels
Meta announced on October 13 that it is bringing Instagram's "Your Algorithm" feature to Facebook and Facebook Reels, letting users add and manage topics and describe in their own words what they want to see more or less of. Meta says recommendations respond in real time within the same session, and that it is using LLMs more in its ranking systems so the algorithm can understand the interests, context and intent behind natural language. Instagram launched the same feature earlier this year — first for Reels in December 2025, according to TechCrunch — and Threads has a related tool called "Dear Algo."
The Verge AI · 🔥 0 - Amazon blocks Meta's Muse agent while Shopify plugs in Shop Pay
Meta launched its AI agent Muse in the US and Canada, and according to an article republished by 36Kr, it topped the US App Store free chart ten days after launch with downloads and daily actives said to exceed ChatGPT at the same stage. The article says Amazon began blocking Muse from shopping on its behalf on September 20, citing unauthorized agent access, failure to identify itself as AI, and risks around stored login credentials; Meta responded that Muse runs in an isolated secure VM, uses Stripe Link one-time card numbers, and is kept separate from its ad systems. Shopify took the opposite approach, exposing product catalog data to Muse and, on September 21, connecting Shop Pay so users can check out inside the chat.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 0 - Meta rolls out AI tools to catch ads that funnel users to child abuse material
Meta said Wednesday it acted on 33.2 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content across Facebook and Instagram in the first half of 2026, more than 97% of it detected by its own systems before users reported it (5.3 million in India, over 98% proactive). It is also deploying a new LLM system to detect "signposting" — ads that look normal but are suspected of directing users to illegal content elsewhere, so Meta now reviews where an ad sends users, not just what it contains. A new "red-teaming AI agent" tests Meta's own safeguards for weaknesses, and the company says it has improved detection of users returning on new accounts after removal.
TechCrunch AI · 🔥 0 - Why People Hate AI but Still Can’t Get Enough of It
Public sentiment toward AI is worsening even as usage continues to grow, creating a paradox of widespread adoption and rising distrust. The article argues that people may resent the technology companies pushing AI into daily life more than the technology itself, while regulation and open alternatives could still give users influence over its future.
