Even if you’ve decided to keep your kid’s info off your socials, someone else might have decided differently.

Influencer Kalie Robins joined us on What the Hack to discuss how Meta AI identified one of her daughters and shared her birthday and other information, even though that daughter wasn’t in the video. Some of the details came from grandparents and aunties who shared birth announcements, not from her account.

Data brokers and AI tools pull from everything connected to you, including your family’s feeds. Talk with your relatives about consent before they share photos or details about your children. Ask them to leave out names, birthdays, and locations. Your child’s safety may depend on it.

Meta may know you have cancer before you do.

This episode of What the Hack, featuring influencer Kalie Robins, looks at how much Meta AI can learn about people. One family video led to a child’s name and birthday being surfaced. Now the same platform may collect far more, from health details to biometric information.
