    > Meta says that Muse has to obey permissions that users set up. It won't access any data you don't explicitly allow it to access.

    Is this a setting configured in Muse itself?

    > It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host. When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.bAfter doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being off.

    Is full disk access enforced on the OS side, or the app side? Like is this claiming MacOS security was breached by Muse somehow acting in spite of deliberately disabled access somehow?

    Has this been reproduced / recorded?
