Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has suspended Meta Platforms' new privacy policy.

The policy involved using Brazilian users' data for training AI systems, including Instagram and Facebook.

The decision aims to prevent harm to individuals' privacy rights, particularly concerning the feeding of public posts into AI systems.

ANPD imposed daily fines for non-compliance and requires Meta to revise its policy and suspend data processing for AI training within five days.

This move follows resistance to the policy update in Europe and is seen as a step to protect children's personal data.

Despite Meta's claims of compliance, the authority found that the company failed to adequately inform users about data usage for AI development.

The decision raises concerns about data protection and privacy regulations in the tech industry and could impact innovation in Brazil.
