Meta has updated its controversial "Made with AI" label on Instagram to "AI info" after complaints from photographers.
The label incorrectly tagged edited real-life images as AI-generated, causing confusion and frustration, while the new label aims to more accurately represent content that has been modified with AI tools.
Users will start seeing the new labels on mobile apps first, followed by web platforms.

Preliminary Ruling
Meta’s Ad Model Violates EU’s DMA
The #DMA is here to give back 🇪🇺 users the power to decide over their #data
#Meta has forced millions of users across EU into a binary choice : “pay or consent”.
In our preliminary conclusion this is a breach of the DMA.
Today we take an important step to ensure Meta complies.

The EU has charged Meta with violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA) over its "pay or consent" ad model.
Meta's approach forces users to either pay for an ad-free experience or consent to personalized ads, without offering a free, less data-intensive option.
The EU's preliminary ruling states this violates Article 5(2) of the DMA. If found in violation, Meta could face fines up to 10 percent of its global revenue, potentially reaching $13.4 billion.
