Threads removed six sentences from its privacy policy on June 2, 2026, including references to Meta AI support availability, data collection and sharing questions, profile deletion options, and language stating that user interactions with AI would be used to improve AI at Meta. The updated policy no longer explicitly describes these support features, data management pathways, or AI training practices that were previously disclosed.
The updated policy no longer explicitly discloses that user interactions with AI systems will be used to improve Meta's AI, nor does it describe how data is shared or collected in specific detail. Previously, the policy offered a 24/7 AI support assistant and clear pathways to manage or delete account data; these references are now absent. The removal of these disclosures does not necessarily mean the practices have stopped, but users no longer have explicit written confirmation of these features or data uses within the published policy.
The removal of explicit statements about AI training and data disclosure reduces the policy's stated transparency regarding how user data informs Meta's AI systems and which parties receive user information. Under GDPR and CCPA, privacy policies are required to clearly disclose data collection, processing purposes, and automated decision-making practices. The absence of these previously stated disclosures may create compliance ambiguity and complicates user understanding of how their data is used.
→ The policy as written will apply without explicit disclosure of how user interactions with AI systems are used to improve Meta's AI.
→ Data collection and sharing practices will operate as they exist, though the policy no longer states specific details about collection scope or recipient categories.

Track changes →Threads removed explicit disclosure language regarding AI data training, data collection and sharing mechanisms, and support feature availability from its June 2, 2026 privacy policy update. The removal of AI training language may create compliance exposure under GDPR Article 22 (automated decision-making transparency) and CCPA disclosure requirements, particularly if AI-driven processing of user interactions continues without stated disclosure. Organizations relying on Threads for user data or customer engagement should assess whether the removal of these disclosures affects their own privacy notice obligations to downstream customers or their vendor compliance assessments.
