Apple tightens macOS Full Disk Access over AI risks
What happened
Reporter Jason Aten said Meta's Muse learned the contents of private messages without his permission, a claim Meta disputes. On October 3, TechCrunch reported that Apple will add extra controls to macOS Full Disk Access, requiring users to grant that level of permission to an app through a more explicit action. The permission lets apps reach files, mail, messages and browsing history. Apple says growing AI agent capability and autonomy raise the risk. The only disclosed step so far is Apple's announcement of the tighter authorization controls.
