As the article already points out, there's a new, more relevant bogeyman in town: AI Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Act).

  As the article points out: > Meta's issue isn't with the still-being-finalized AI Act, but rather with how it can train models using data from European customers while complying with GDPR — the EU's existing data protection law.
