Sorry Mark Zuckerberg, customers of the company with Chinese roots you spent $2 billion on are not happy; say: Are sad that…
Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of Manus, a Singapore-based AI startup with Chinese roots, has backfired in an unexpected way. Instead of celebrating the deal, some existing customers are jumping ship, citing deep-seated concerns about Meta’s data practices, according to a CNBC report.
Seth Dobrin, co-founder and CEO of Arya Labs, told CNBC that Manus was his favorite AI platform—but he’s ditching it now that Meta owns it. “I do not agree with a lot of Meta’s practices around data and how they essentially weaponize people’s personal data against them,” Dobrin said. “I’m legitimately sad that this has happened.”
