Funny that people freakout about a local LLM while using Facebook products. They're probably the same types who use it to do their work.

It's a local LLM with access to an extraordinary amount of personal data. In the EU at least that personal data is supposed to be handled with care. I don't see people freaking out, but simple pointing out the leap of handing it over to ANOTHER company.
Not all Meta products are alike. WA has E2E encryption, has had it for a long time. It's the same protocol as Signal: in fact, it was built for/in WA by Moxie/signal a while ago.
That doesn't make the metadata private. Meta can use that as they want. But not the contents, nor the images, not even in group chats (as opposed to Telegram, where group-chats aren't (weren't?) E2E encrypted).
What you say or send on WA is private. Meta cannot see that. Nor governments nor your ISP or your router. Only you and the person or people you sent it to can read that.
It's a d*ck move if they then publicize this. And, as others pointed out, illegal even in many jurisdictions: AFAIK, it is in my country.
