Meta has found another way to keep you engaged: Chatbots that message you first

Meta is testing AI chatbots that can proactively message users on Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. These bots, like "The Maestro of Movie Magic," can follow up with users based on previous conversations, as long as the user has interacted with the bot at least five times in 14 days. Meta is working with Alignerr to train these bots using its AI Studio platform, and bots can remember user information and be shared publicly or kept private.

While the goal is to increase engagement and offer more meaningful interactions, it also raises concerns about privacy, safety, and the potential for emotional manipulation. Meta hasn’t clarified how it plans to commercialise these bots, but leaked documents show it expects its AI products to drive billions in revenue, possibly including ads, subscriptions, and integration with its VR platform, Horizon.

Why it matters and how can we adapt to this change:

• Increased AI Intrusion: Bots messaging users without prompt blurs the line between helpful interaction and unsolicited intrusion, raising concerns about digital boundaries.

• Privacy & Safety Concerns: Chatbots remembering past interactions and initiating contact could open doors to manipulation, misinformation, or emotional dependency, especially for younger users.

• Lack of Regulation: There are currently no clear age limits for engagement with Meta’s chatbots, which is worrying given the ongoing legal issues faced by similar AI platforms like Character.AI.

• Advertising Potential: These bots could soon be used for targeted advertising or sponsored messages, which ties deeper into Meta's business model and raises ethical concerns about user manipulation.

• Massive Commercial Ambition: Meta is banking on AI to generate up to $1.4 trillion by 2035, showing that these chatbot features aren’t just about connection or convenience, but are part of a broader monetisation strategy.

Not everyone is thrilled with Threads’ DMs

Instagram Threads recently introduced direct messages (DMs), calling it their most requested feature. However, the rollout sparked backlash, especially from women concerned about online harassment. Many users expressed frustration that there's no way to opt out of receiving DMs entirely.

While DMs are standard on other platforms, Threads was previously appreciated for not having them. The system only allows DMs from people you follow, and you can block or unfollow to stop messages. Still, users argue this isn’t enough, especially when they follow people just to see content, not to interact.

Overall, critics say adding DMs disrupts the platform's culture and gives users little control, making some feel unsafe or unheard. READ MORE
