Several of you asked whether Meta is bringing back the Muse Image "tag someone and make an AI image of them" feature in November. Let's clear this up so you can act from facts, not fear. ✅ THE SHORT ANSWER No. The @-mention likeness feature is NOT coming back. But there IS something worth your attention: Meta is expanding how it uses public content to train its AI. 🧠 WHAT HAPPENED WITH MUSE IMAGE • Meta launched Muse Image on July 7, 2026. • One feature let anyone @-mention a public Instagram account and generate AI images from that person's photos, with no permission needed. • After backlash from SAG-AFTRA, privacy experts, and everyday users, Meta pulled that feature on July 10. • Muse Image itself is still live for regular image generation and editing. Only the tag-a-person feature was removed. 📅 WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING NOW • Meta is expanding AI training using public posts, photos, captions, and comments from adult (18+) accounts, plus your chats with Meta AI. • Per Meta, private messages and non-public posts are excluded. • Platforms: Facebook and Instagram are the main ones named. Meta also owns WhatsApp, Messenger, and Threads, and Meta AI is built into all of them. • The October 30 deadline circulating online comes from UK coverage and applies to users there. 🇺🇸 IMPORTANT FOR U.S. MEMBERS U.S. users don't currently have the same formal "Right to Object" opt-out that EU/UK users have. That makes your privacy settings your strongest protection. 🛡️ YOUR OPTIONS (choose what fits your business) 1. Submit an objection where available: Settings & Privacy → Privacy Center → look for the generative AI section or the "Object" link. Do it on both Facebook AND Instagram. 2. Go private: Private accounts and friends-only posts fall outside Meta's stated training scope. Tradeoff for business accounts: less reach. 3. Audit old posts: Limit the audience on past posts or archive anything you wouldn't want in a training dataset (client photos, kids, personal moments). 4. Watch what you type into Meta AI: Assume your chats with the assistant can be used for training. 5. Separate personal from business: Keep your personal account private, and keep your business account public but intentional.

7:00 PM EST | One Demo Away Group Meeting Here's the truth most people won't say out loud: you can know AI inside and out and still lose the room if you can't explain what it does for someone in under a minute. That's what tonight is about. We're turning up the energy with a live AI Pitch Battle, where members step up, pitch their AI offer, idea, or solution, and get real-time feedback on what lands and what doesn't. Why you don't want to miss this: ✅ Sharpen your pitch in a safe, supportive room before it counts with a real client ✅ Hear how others position AI so it sounds like a solution, not a science project ✅ Walk away with language you can use in your very next conversation ✅ Learn just as much by watching as by pitching You're closer than you think. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and your next client is one clear, confident demo. That's why we're One Demo Away. 💡 Come ready to pitch, or come ready to learn. Either way, come ready to grow. 📅 Tonight | ⏰ 7:00 PM EST Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you're stepping into the ring! Clarity First. AI Second. Momentum Always.™
