“Meta to Tap Into AI Conversations for Ad Targeting“🚨🚨🚨

MetaMETA $717.64 (-2.28%) has announced a major shift in how it monetizes its popular Meta AI product. Traditionally, Meta waits until a new service hits a billion users before fully integrating ads. Now that Meta AI has surpassed that milestone with over 1 billion people using it each month the company revealed it will start using your AI chats to shape the ads and recommendations you see.

Up to now, Meta has tracked user activity like likes, shares, and clicks to fuel its advertising business. But this update means that even casual conversations with Meta AI such as asking for travel tips could trigger a flood of related ads. For example, a query about a Paris vacation could lead to hotel and airline promotions showing up in your feed.

Meta insists that sensitive topics including religion, sexuality, politics, health, race, and union membership will not be used to target ads. However, the company’s track record on privacy is shaky. In the past, its tracking tools have been found collecting sensitive data linked to medical and financial information.

Users will soon begin seeing notifications about this policy update, which officially goes into effect on December 16, 2025. While Meta points to privacy controls for managing ads, it remains unclear if users will be able to fully opt out of having their Meta AI interactions feed into the advertising system.

Meta has not yet responded to requests for further comment.
