The social media giant said Meta AI will offer breaking news, entertainment and lifestyle stories when users ask news-related questions, drawing from partnerships with outlets including CNN, Fox News, Le Monde, People and USA Today.
The feature will allow users to access “more diverse content sources” and receive links to partner websites to dive deeper into stories, Meta said in a blog post.
Meta said the expansion aims to make its AI assistant “more responsive, accurate, and balanced” by incorporating diverse viewpoints, acknowledging that “real-time events can be challenging for current AI systems to keep up with.”
The initial partnerships span mainstream and conservative-leaning publications, including The Daily Caller and The Washington Examiner.
The company said it plans to continue adding partnerships and develop new features as competition intensifies among technology firms to enhance the capabilities of their AI assistants.
Meta AI is available across the company’s platforms, serving billions of users globally.
The announcement comes as artificial intelligence companies, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, increasingly move to incorporate live web content and news feeds.
OpenAI has deals with News Corp., Le Monde, The Washington Post and Axel Springer, while The New York Times has partnered with Amazon and Google has partnered with The Associated Press. Europe’s Mistral has partnered with Agence France-Presse.
At the end of August, the startup Perplexity unveiled a subscription package called Comet Plus, named after its AI-infused internet browser, Comet, which gives access to partnered media content for $5 per month.
Perplexity has committed to redistributing 80 percent of the revenue generated by Comet Plus to news publishers.
Despite these collaborations, several lawsuits brought by media outlets against AI companies are ongoing, notably that of The New York Times against OpenAI, which the newspaper accuses of using its articles without authorization and without compensation.
In recent days The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune joined The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post with their own lawsuits against Perplexity.
Meta has had a sometimes turbulent relationship with the news media over the years.
The company founded by Mark Zuckerberg declared in 2024 that news was a very small share of user engagement on the company’s platforms and began shutting down the Facebook News tab in markets including the United States, Britain and France.
This also saw the end of multi-million-dollar deals with leading news organisations.
Zuckerberg also made the surprise decision in January to end Meta’s US fact-checking programme, as he more closely aligned with the Trump administration’s antipathy toward establishment news.
That program had employed third-party fact-checkers, many from news media organisations such as AFP, to identify misinformation disseminated on the platform.
The AI news came a day after Meta’s share price rose sharply on a report that the company is significantly cutting back on virtual reality investments as it pivots toward artificial intelligence.

Meta on Friday confirmed it is buying Limitless, a U.S. startup that makes a wearable pendant that records and summarises conversations and meetings with the help of artificial intelligence.
Financial details of the deal to acquire the five-year-old Denver-based firm were not disclosed.
“We’re excited that Limitless will be joining Meta to help accelerate our work to build AI-enabled wearables,” a Meta spokesperson said in response to an AFP inquiry.
Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has made AI a priority at the tech giant with a stated aim of achieving “superintelligence.”
AI is being used to enhance Meta apps including Facebook and Instagram, and to ramp up capabilities of smartglasses it makes in partnership with EssilorLuxottica.
“Meta recently announced a new vision to bring personal superintelligence to everyone and a key part of that vision is building incredible AI-enabled wearables,” Limitless co-founder and Chief Executive Dan Siroker said in a message posted on the startup’s website.
“We share this vision and we’ll be joining Meta to help bring our shared vision to life.”
Limitless has raised a total of $33 million from investors including venture capital powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, according to Pitchbook.
The startup was valued at $368 million during its latest funding round in 2023, Pitchbook noted.
“We’re no longer working on a weird fringe idea,” Siroker said of how the tech world has changed since the startup’s early days.
“We’re building a future that now seems inevitable.”
Meta invested heavily in Scale AI earlier this year, poaching the startup’s co-founder Alexandr Wang as part of the deal and putting him in charge of a newly formed unit called Superintelligence Labs.
The deal to buy Limitless appears to be the first major acquisition by Meta since it finalized its buyout of virtual reality firm Within Unlimited in 2023, after a court rejected an attempt by U.S. regulators to block the deal over competition concerns.
The courtroom loss was seen as a setback for then-FTC head Lina Khan, who was an advocate of imposing tougher scrutiny on Big Tech companies on antitrust matters.

Apple has sent a new round of cyber threat notifications to users in 84 countries, the company said on Friday, announcing its latest efforts to insulate customers against surveillance threats.
Apple is one of several tech companies that regularly issue warnings to users when it determines they may have been targeted by state-backed hackers. Apple’s statement, which said the warnings were issued on December 2, carried few further details about the alleged surveillance and did not address questions about the number of users targeted or say who was thought to be carrying out the surveillance.
Previous waves of warnings have triggered headlines and prompted investigations by government bodies, including the European Union, whose senior officials have previously been targeted using spyware.
Apple’s statement said that “to date we have notified users in over 150 countries in total.”
Key Points New research shows that people who have both gum disease and cavities face an 86% higher risk of stroke compared to those with healthy mouths. Poor oral health was also associated with a 36% greater chance of heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular problems. Regular dental checkups made a major difference, with participants […]
These foreign entities may have played some sort of a backstage role as the government cannot afford to lose Apple and its manufacturing in India. Although the government’s move to have the app installed was apparently aimed as a safety measure — cybercrimes increased from 15.9 lakh cases in 2023 to 20.4 lakh in 2024 — to help mobile users and the police, legitimate questions were raised during the pushback against the government’s move about surveillance, state power and data misuse. These issues can be regarded as a significant step to understand the urgent need of what may be termed as digital constitutionalism.
What digital constitutionalism entails
Digital constitutionalism signifies the extension of constitutional principles such as liberty, dignity, equality including non-arbitrariness, accountability and rule of law in the digital space. These values are being threatened in the world where data collection, artificial intelligence (AI) and surveillance technologies take the lead. Modern governance is becoming an invisible system, whether it is biometric databases, predictive algorithms or both. In the absence of strong constitutional protection within these systems, humans are likely to be exposed to abuse of authority.
Everyday life is now being influenced by digital governance. Automated processes mediate Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, welfare distribution, job applications, health-care records, and even political expression in social media. These technologies tend to operate without any significant revelation or approval from people.
Consequently, the concentration of power takes place in the hands of tech designers, law enforcement agencies and private companies. This generates an unequal state where the citizens are passive data subjects but not active right-holders as they are supposed to be in liberal democracies.
There has also been a worrisome development in surveillance which even George Orwell could not imagine in the celebrated and futuristic 1984. It has ceased to be visible and immediate. These days it is being performed with the help of metadata gathering, location tracing, biometric identification, behavioural modelling and predictive analytics.
This kind of silent and constant surveillance can chill free speech, discourage dissent and disrupt democracies. People start censoring themselves when they are aware that they are under observation. Self-censorship is the new normal. The right to privacy is now considered to be one of the basic rights in India. This was affirmed in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) And Anr. vs Union of India And Ors. (2017) by the Supreme Court of India. More recently, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, was passed by Parliament. Although it was supposed to safeguard the data of the citizens, the law has some significant flaws. It gives broad exemption to the government, is not well overseen by the independent body, and has weak remedies for individuals. It places administrative convenience and national security over individual autonomy and dignity, rendering it inadequate as a constitutional protection.
Efficiency but less personal control
Data-fication has entered every sector. Banks rely on behavioural analytics. Hospitals and insurance agencies depend on digital medical records. Education is delivered through online platforms. Social media do profile users constantly. These developments create efficiency, yet they also reduce personal control over information. Consent has become a routine “click-through” process, not a genuine voluntary choice. Purpose limitation is often ignored. Consequently, privacy loss is no longer just about isolated breaches. It is about the gradual erasure of personal control over identity and decision-making.
Surveillance technologies now form part of public places. Closed circuit cameras, biometric scanners and digital identifiers constantly monitor people. Accordingly, facial recognition has been prohibited or severely limited in a few cities in the United States because of racial discrimination, surveillance and false identification. Facial recognition misidentification has led to wrongful arrests abroad. Digi Yatra data (at Indian airports) too is not with the government. Research has found that these systems at times adversely work against people of colour, women, and minority groups. Thus, facial recognition technology basically leads to discrimination rather than assisting crime prevention which like Sanchar Saathi, is its stated objective.
While such technologies are still growing and are being used in India. There is no comprehensive law on surveillance. There is a lack of effective judicial control. Transparency is rare. This poses a serious disproportion between authority and responsibility. Unchecked surveillance may end up transforming a democratic state into a monitoring state like Big Brother.
Algorithms determine who receives welfare, is profiled by police, has their content removed, and who gets a job or a loan application shortlisted. Such systems are commonly known as black boxes as their decision-making functions are obscure. In cases when a benefit is not provided to a person, or a person is suspected, there is no explanation. It also lacks a clear-cut mechanism of appeal.

There are real consequences. Algorithmic failures have excluded deserving families from welfare schemes. Automated content moderation has silenced legitimate voices. Indeed, technology can quietly violate the constitutional principles of equality, reasonableness and natural justice.
An inadequate legal system
The legal system that is in place in India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and emerging digital laws, is mainly aimed at controlling technology and governing platforms. It is not doing enough to defend citizen’s liberties in general and privacy in particular. Few guidelines have been provided by courts, but these are disjointed and provisional. When it comes to high-risk algorithms and surveillance orders, there is no external institution with the ability to audit them or even review them. To the majority of tech-savvy citizens, remedies are slow and expensive and unreachable. Masses are unaware of dangers.
This gives rise to a paradox in the constitution. Rights, freedoms and state power are now being shaped by the digital system, just like the government institutions. These are not, however, subjected to constitutional discipline. This is an incongruity that undermines democracy.
To find the appropriate model of digital constitutionalism, it will have to be more than being merely theoretical. It should develop institutional protection. Violations should be inquired into by creating an independent digital rights commission that will ensure accountability. The law should restrict surveillance except in grave situations of national security, which can be determined by necessity and proportionality. Public transparency reports and parliamentary scrutiny, and judicial warrants must be obligatory.
Risky AI devices should be audited and bias-tested on a regular basis. Citizens should be granted the right to explanation and the right to appeal to the automated decisions. The tight control of purpose, limited collection and severe punishment of abuse should be reinforced to ensure better data protection.
Digital literacy too is to be considered as a constitutional empowerment. Individuals should be in a position to criticise, challenge and oppose digital power structures. Rights are mere theories without knowing.
Digital technologies have become an integral part of citizenship. They determine the availability of services, political participation and even identity. With governance increasingly being more data-driven, constitutional values should be used as the starting point for this shift. Freedom, equality and privacy are too precious to be among the mute victims of efficiency. Digital constitutionalism is not just a change in law. It is the defence of the democratic era in the algorithmic era. It is a promise to make sure that technology is a servant of the people and not their silent authoritarian master.

Estados Unidos está a punto de perder su estatus de país libre de sarampión el próximo año. Si eso sucede, entraría en una nueva etapa en la que los brotes volverían a ser comunes.
Más niñas y niños serían hospitalizados por esta enfermedad prevenible. Algunos perderían la audición. Algunos morirían.
El sarampión también es costoso. Un nuevo estudio —aún no publicado en una revista científica— estima que la respuesta de salud pública ante brotes con un puñado de casos cuesta alrededor de $244.000.
Cuando una persona necesita atención hospitalaria, el costo promedio por caso es de $58.600. Según las estimaciones del estudio, un brote como el ocurrido a inicios de este año en el oeste de Texas, con 762 casos y 99 hospitalizaciones, cuesta aproximadamente $12.6 millones.
El estatus de Estados Unidos depende de si los principales brotes ocurridos este año tienen origen en el gran brote del oeste de Texas que comenzó oficialmente el 20 de enero. Si estos brotes están conectados y continúan más allá del 20 de enero del próximo año, el país ya no será considerado libre de sarampión.
“Mucha gente trabajó muy duro durante mucho tiempo para lograr la eliminación: años de trabajo para hacer que las vacunas estén disponibles, lograr una buena cobertura de vacunación y tener una respuesta rápida a los brotes para limitar su propagación”, dijo Paul Rota, microbiólogo recientemente retirado tras casi 40 años de carrera en los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC).
Pero en vez de actuar con rapidez para evitar el regreso del sarampión, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., abogado que fundó una organización antivacunas antes de asumir el liderazgo del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS), ha debilitado la capacidad de las autoridades de salud pública para prevenir y contener brotes, al minar la confianza en las vacunas.
La vacuna contra el sarampión es segura y efectiva: solo el 4% de los más de 1.800 casos confirmados este año en el país se ha registrado en personas que recibieron las dos dosis recomendadas.
Kennedy ha despedido a expertos del comité asesor de vacunas de los CDC y ha afirmado, sin pruebas, que las vacunas pueden causar autismo, inflamación cerebral y muerte.
El 19 de noviembre, la información científica sobre vacunas y autismo en el sitio web de los CDC fue reemplazada por afirmaciones falsas. Kennedy dijo a The New York Times que él ordenó el cambio.
“¿Queremos volver a la era previa a las vacunas, cuando morían 500 niños al año por sarampión?”, se preguntó Demetre Daskalakis, ex director del centro nacional de inmunización de los CDC, quien renunció en agosto en protesta por las acciones de Kennedy.

Kennedy Jr.(Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images)
Daskalakis y otros científicos afirman que la administración Trump parece más interesada en minimizar el resurgimiento del sarampión que en contenerlo.
Un vocero del HHS, Andrew Nixon, dijo en un comunicado que la vacunación sigue siendo la herramienta más efectiva para prevenir el sarampión y que “los CDC y las agencias de salud estatales y locales siguen trabajando juntos para evaluar los patrones de transmisión y garantizar una respuesta de salud pública efectiva”.
Buscando conexiones
Científicos de los CDC están rastreando el sarampión junto con investigadores de departamentos de salud y universidades.
Para saber si los brotes están relacionados, analizan los genomas del virus del sarampión, que contienen toda su información genética. Estos análisis pueden ayudar a revelar el origen de los brotes y su verdadera magnitud, además de alertar sobre contagios no detectados.
Los científicos llevan años realizando este tipo de análisis genéticos para el VIH, la gripe y covid, pero es algo nuevo para el sarampión, porque el virus ha sido un problema menor en el país durante décadas, explicó Samuel Scarpino, especialista en salud pública de la Universidad Northeastern, en Boston. “Es importante establecer una red de vigilancia que se pueda escalar rápidamente cuando sea necesario”, dijo.
“Estamos trabajando con los CDC y otros estados para determinar si lo que estamos viendo es un solo gran brote que sigue propagándose de estado a estado”, dijo Kelly Oakeson, investigadora en genómica del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Utah.
A primera vista, el brote en curso en Utah y Arizona, con 258 casos al 1 de diciembre, parece estar relacionado con el de Texas porque fue causado por la misma cepa del virus, D8-9171. Pero esta cepa también circula en Canadá y México, lo que significa que los brotes podrían haber empezado por separado, a partir de personas infectadas en el extranjero.
Si ese fuera el caso, esta diferencia técnica podría evitar que Estados Unidos pierda su estatus, dijo Rota. Ser un país libre de sarampión significa que el virus no circula de forma continua durante todo un año.
Canadá perdió su estatus en noviembre porque las autoridades no pudieron demostrar que varios brotes causados por la cepa D8-9171 no estaban relacionados, explicó Daniel Salas, director ejecutivo del programa integral de inmunización de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS).
La organización, parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), incluye a funcionarios de salud de América del Norte, Centroamérica, Sudamérica y el Caribe, y determina el estatus de eliminación del sarampión en base a los reportes científicos de los países miembros.
A comienzos del próximo año, la OPS escuchará a científicos de Estados Unidos. Si sus análisis indican que el sarampión se ha propagado de forma continua durante un año dentro del país, la directora de la organización podría revocar el estatus de país libre de sarampión.

“Esperamos que los países sean transparentes con la información que tienen”, dijo Salas. “Vamos a hacer preguntas como: ‘¿Cómo llegaron a sus conclusiones y si consideraron otras posibilidades?’”
En preparación para esta evaluación, Oakeson y otros investigadores estudian cuán similares son las cepas D8-9171 en Utah respecto a otras.
En lugar de analizar solo un fragmento del genoma que identifica la cepa, están examinando todo el genoma del virus del sarampión, que tiene unas 16.000 letras genéticas. Las mutaciones ocurren naturalmente con el tiempo, y la acumulación de pequeños cambios funciona como un reloj que revela cuánto tiempo ha pasado entre brotes. “Esto nos muestra la historia evolutiva de las muestras”, explicó Oakeson.
Por ejemplo, si un niño infecta directamente a otro, los virus en ambos serán idénticos. Pero los virus en personas infectadas al inicio de un gran brote serán ligeramente distintos a los que circulan meses después.
Aunque a los brotes en Texas y Utah los causó la misma cepa, Oakeson dijo que “detalles más precisos nos están llevando a creer que no están muy estrechamente relacionados”. Para saber exactamente qué tan distintos son entre sí, los científicos los están comparando con genomas del virus del sarampión provenientes de otros estados y países.
Idealmente, los estudios genéticos deberían complementarse con investigaciones de campo sobre cómo comenzó cada brote. Sin embargo, muchas de esas investigaciones no han obtenido respuestas porque las primeras personas infectadas no buscaron atención médica ni notificaron a las autoridades de salud.
Como en el oeste de Texas, el brote en Utah y Arizona está concentrado en comunidades muy cerradas, con baja vacunación y desconfianza hacia el gobierno y la medicina convencional.
Los investigadores también intentan averiguar cuántos casos de sarampión no han sido detectados. “Los casos confirmados requieren pruebas, y en algunas comunidades hay un costo asociado con ir al hospital: un tanque de gasolina, buscar quién cuide a los niños, faltar al trabajo”, explicó Andrew Pavia, doctor en enfermedades infecciosas de la Universidad de Utah. “Si tu hijo tiene un sarpullido de sarampión pero no está muy enfermo, ¿para qué molestarse?”.
Vigilancia sutil
Pavia forma parte de una red nacional de vigilancia de brotes liderada por los CDC. Una forma sencilla de estimar la magnitud de un brote sería mediante encuestas, pero eso se complica en comunidades que desconfían del personal de salud pública.
“En un entorno colaborativo, podríamos hacer cuestionarios preguntando si alguien en el hogar tuvo sarpullido u otros síntomas de sarampión”, dijo Pavia. “Pero los mismos factores que dificultan que la gente se vacune o haga cuarentena también complican esto”.
Por eso, Pavia y otros investigadores están analizando los genomas. Una gran variación genética sugiere que un brote se ha propagado durante semanas o meses antes de ser detectado, infectando a muchas más personas de las que se sabe.
Una forma de vigilancia menos invasiva es mediante el análisis de aguas residuales. Este año, los CDC y departamentos de salud estatales comenzaron a hacer pruebas en aguas residuales de hogares y edificios para detectar el virus del sarampión que eliminan las personas infectadas.
Un estudio en Texas encontró que esto puede servir como sistema de alerta temprana, permitiendo detectar brotes antes de que las personas lleguen al hospital.
La labor silenciosa de los científicos de los CDC contrasta con la falta de comunicación pública de la agencia.
Desde que el presidente Donald Trump asumió el cargo, los CDC no han realizado una sola conferencia de prensa sobre el sarampión, y su última publicación al respecto en el boletín Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report fue en abril.
Daskalakis dijo que, mientras el brote en Texas empeoraba, su equipo en los CDC no recibió respuesta cuando solicitó informar a Kennedy y a otros funcionarios del HHS.
“Objetivamente, no estaban ayudando con el brote en Texas, así que si perdemos el estatus de eliminación, tal vez digan: ‘¿Y qué?’”, dijo Daskalakis.
Nixon, el vocero del HHS, afirmó que Kennedy respondió con fuerza al brote en Texas al ordenar a los CDC que proporcionaran vacunas y medicamentos contra el sarampión a las comunidades, aceleraran las pruebas y brindaran orientación a doctores y funcionarios de salud. Agregó que Estados Unidos conserva su estatus porque no hay pruebas de transmisión continua por 12 meses.
“El análisis genómico preliminar sugiere que los casos en Utah y Arizona no están directamente relacionados con los de Texas”, escribió en la red social X el director interino de los CDC y secretario adjunto del HHS, Jim O’Neill.
Dado el historial de Kennedy distorsionando datos sobre la vitamina A, el paracetamol (Tylenol) y el autismo, Daskalakis teme que la administración Trump insista en que los brotes no están conectados o que la OPS está equivocada.
“Será una gran mancha para el régimen de Kennedy si él es el secretario de salud en el año que perdamos el estatus de eliminación”, dijo. “Creo que harán todo lo posible para poner en duda los hallazgos científicos, incluso si eso implica culpar a los científicos”.

European Union regulators on Friday (December 5, 2025) fined Elon Musk’s social media platform ‘X’ 120 million euros ($140 million) for failing to comply with the bloc’s digital regulations.
The European Commission issued its decision following an investigation it opened two years ago into X under the 27-nation bloc’s Digital Services Act.
Also known as the DSA, its a sweeping rulebook that requires platforms to take more responsibility for protecting European users and cleaning up harmful or illegal content and products on their sites, under threat of hefty fines.
The Commission said it was punishing X, previously known as Twitter, because of three different breaches of the DSA’s transparency requirements. The decision could rile President Donald Trump, whose administration has lashed out at digital regulations from Brussels and vowed to retaliate if American tech companies are penalised.
Regulators said X’s blue checkmarks broke the rules because of their “deceptive design” that could expose users to scams and manipulation.
X also fell short of the requirements for its ad database and giving access to researchers access to public data.

WhatsApp faces an antitrust investigation in the European Union, where regulators said Thursday that they’re looking into the messaging service’s artificial intelligence policy.
WhatsApp, owned by Facebook parent Meta Platforms, rolled out its AI chatbot feature for European Union users in March after delays.
The Commission, which is the bloc’s executive arm, said a recent policy update could mean that rival AI companies are blocked from offering their AI assistants on the platform, while Meta’s chatbot service remains accessible to users. Regulators are scrutinising new terms and conditions for business customers, who can use AI assistants to communicate with customers over WhatsApp.
Teresa Ribera, the commission’s vice president overseeing competition affairs, said the bloc wants to prevent Big Tech companies from boxing out innovative competitors.
“This is why we are investigating if Meta’s new policy might be illegal under competition rules, and whether we should act quickly to prevent any possible irreparable harm to competition in the AI space,” she said in a press statement.
The Commission’s “claims are baseless,” WhatsApp said in a statement. ”The emergence of AI chatbots on our Business API puts a strain on our systems that they were not designed to support.”
“Even still, the AI space is highly competitive and people have access to the services of their choice in any number of ways, including app stores, search engines, email services, partnership integrations, and operating systems,” the company said.
The investigation will cover all of the EU’s 27 countries except for Italy, where authorities have already opened their own separate probe.
