## Resource

Meta’s new Instagram AI feature, which let users remix images using their own sketches pulled from public posts, sparked massive backlash for auto-opting in users without consent — prompting Hollywood unions and privacy advocates to sound the alarm over non-consensual digital replicas. Meta quickly apologized, calling the rollout a misstep, and pulled the feature before it could cause more harm — underscoring the urgent need for tech companies to prioritize user control over flashy AI innovation.
