Manus is walking away from Meta.

And on the way out, some people's work is getting wiped off the platform.

If you ever ran a single task over there, this one's got a clock on it.

Let me break it down.

--------------------------

🗞️ 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 🗞️

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 ~ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁

Meta bought Manus back in December for about $2 billion. Chinese regulators looked at that deal, said no, and ordered it undone. So Manus is going back to being its own company.

To make that legal in certain countries, they have to delete data that some users created on or after December 29, 2025 ~ the day the Meta deal closed. The deletion runs August 23 through August 24.

This is not a hack. Not a breach. Just what it costs when a $2 billion deal comes apart.

Now the part that's gonna catch people. Manus published the deadline as 7:59 a.m. August 23 ~ but that's Singapore time. On your clock, the backup window slams shut at 𝟳:𝟱𝟵 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗧 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟮. Not the 23rd. Read that one twice.

Not everybody's affected. Manus is notifying people in the app and by email. If you signed up with Apple ID or Facebook, they don't have your email at all ~ the in-app notice is the only warning you get. So open the app and look.

If you're affected and you don't back up, that work doesn't come back. Backups are free, the tool lets you run it more than once, and restore opens 8:00 PM ET on August 24.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂: If you built anything over there ~ a research doc, a deck, a site, a workflow you'd have to rebuild from scratch ~ that's your work. Yours. Even if you left Manus months ago and never looked back.

It's like moving out of an apartment you already moved out of. Lease is done either way. You still drive back for the box in the closet, because the box is yours.

I pulled mine and I don't even use Manus anymore. Took a few minutes. Go get your box.

💬 Go check your app right now and tell us what you find. Are you on the affected list or in the clear? And if you are affected ~ what's the one thing in there you'd actually be sick about losing?
