    My understanding is that Meta Muse simply opens the System Settings Full Disk Access pane, and the user has to enable it themselves using System Settings, which says, "Allow the applications below to access data like Mail, Messages, Safari..." and which requires an administrator password to change.

    Thus, I'm not sure what more Apple can do here, but I'm definitely afraid of what they're going to do.

      No, that's not what happened.

      In reality, the "full disk access" restriction system never actually worked right. I'm positive Apple is just trying to save face here and quietly fix it while saying they're "tighting" it

        This is a baseless conspiracy theory. Provide proof. No, the confused ramblings of one journalist who is trying to save his own face for granting FDA to Muse does not count as proof.
