Yesterday, Reuters reported on internal Meta documents that revealed its AI chatbot was allowed to \u201cengage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,\u201d as well as offer false medical advice and to parrot racist talking points. The outlet reports that after Meta was questioned, it did remove the portions of the document that said the flirtatious conversations with children were okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeta\u2019s use of chatbots with children is unconscionable,\u201d writes the Neil Young \u2013 Reprise Records <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NeilYoungRepriseRecords\/posts\/1293552748786279\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a>. \u201cMr. Young does not want a further connection with FACEBOOK.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereogum.com\/2065635\/neil-young-will-no-longer-use-facebook-because-of-its-obvious-commitments-to-republicans\/news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Per Stereogum,<\/a> Young actually ceased using Facebook personally in 2019, citing the platform\u2019s \u201cvery bad misinformation about political campaigns and ads that are outright falsehoods\u201d as well as its \u201cobvious commitments\u201d to conservative politics. Of course, these have only gotten worse. The proliferation of generative AI content has rendered the news feed basically a slop trough, and the platform\u2019s creator has spent a lot of 2025 publicly cozying up to Donald Trump. Beyond Facebook, Young has a history of agitating against the big tech platforms. In 2022, Young also announced that he was going to stop allowing his music on Spotify due to the misinformation spread by The Joe Rogan Experience, though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/neil-young-returns-to-spotify-after-protesting-joe-roga-1851330625\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Young returned in 2024<\/a>.
