The promise was made on July 9, 2025, during a Pump Fun marketing push that tried to paint itself as a competitor against social media giants Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch.

The post Meta’s Muse Image pulls public Instagram photos into AI unless users opt out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
On July 7, Meta unveiled Muse Image, which is the first independent image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). The new image generation capabilities are already incorporated into the Meta AI app, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Facebook and Messenger will gain the same feature in the coming weeks. Interestingly, a new default setting will enable people to use pictures from their public Instagram accounts to create AI images. The settings allow anyone to do so unless they choose to opt out. This change could have an impact on a considerable segment of Instagram users. Instagram reaches a coverage of approximately 3 billion users in 2026. However, it is not specified with accuracy which portion of these accounts remains public. All public accounts have a right-by-default to opt out of the opt-out feature. Thus, to prevent misuse of one’s images, the owne

The post Think Your Facebook Was Hacked? Here’s What To Do Next appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Young man sits on sofa using smartphone. If a hacker takes over your social media, like Facebook, the first step to regain account access is to determine if you still have access to the account.
