Meta seeks $29 billion from private capital firms for AI data centres: Financial Times
Meta Platforms is seeking to raise $29 billion from private capital firms to build artificial intelligence data centres in the U.S., the Financial Times reported on Friday. The Facebook-parent has advanced discussions with private credit investors including Apollo Global Management, KKR , Brookfield , Carlyle and PIMCO, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Meta is looking to raise $3 billion in equity and $26 billion in debt, the report said, adding that the company is debating how to structure the debt raising and may also seek to raise more capital. Such a fundraising comes at a time when Meta has doubled down its commitment to artificial intelligence, including a $14.8 billion investment in startup Scale AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had said in January the company would spend as much as $65 billion this year to expand its AI infrastructure, seeking to strengthen its position against competitors OpenAI and Google in the race to lead the AI technology landscape. Meta and Carlyle declined to comment, while Apollo Global, KKR, Brookfield and PIMCO did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Meta was working with its advisers at Morgan Stanley to arrange the financing, and it was considering ways that could make the debt more easily tradeable once it was issued, the FT report said. Major tech companies are investing heavily to secure the vast computing power needed to run AI models, fueling demand for specialized data centres that link thousands of chips into high-performance clusters. Microsoft has planned a capital expenditure of $80 billion in fiscal 2025, with most of it aimed at expanding data centres to ease capacity bottlenecks for AI services. Bloomberg News reported in February that Apollo Global Management is in talks to lead a roughly $35 billion financing package for Meta to help develop data centres in the United States.

Meta may face daily fines over pay-or-consent model, EU warns
Meta Platforms may face daily fines if EU regulators decide the changes it has proposed to its pay-or-consent model fail to comply with an antitrust order issued in April, they said on Friday. The warning from the European Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, came two months after it slapped a 200-million-euro ($234 million) fine on the U.S. social media giant for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aiming at curbing the power of Big Tech. The move shows the Commission's continuing crackdown against Big Tech and its push to create a level playing field for smaller rivals despite U.S. criticism about the bloc's rules mainly targeting its companies. Daily fines for not complying with the DMA can be as much as 5% of a company's average daily worldwide turnover. The EU executive said Meta's pay-or-consent model introduced in November 2023 breached the DMA in the period up to November 2024, when it tweaked it to use less personal data for targeted advertising. The Commission has been scrutinising the changes since then. The model gives Facebook and Instagram users who consent to be tracked a free service that is funded by advertising revenues. Alternatively, they can pay for an ad-free service. The EU competition watchdog said Meta will only make limited changes to its pay-or-consent model rolled out last November. "The Commission cannot confirm at this stage if these are sufficient to comply with the main parameters of compliance outlined in its non-compliance Decision," a spokesperson said. "With this in mind, we will consider the next steps, including recalling that continuous non-compliance could entail the application of periodic penalty payments running as of 27 June 2025, as indicated in the non-compliance decision." Meta accused the Commission of discriminating against the company and for moving the goalposts during discussions over the last two months. "A user choice between a subscription for no ads service or a free ad supported service remains a legitimate business model for every company in Europe - except Meta," a Meta spokesperson said. "We are confident that the range of choices we offer people in the EU doesn't just comply with what the EU's rules require - it goes well beyond them." The EU watchdog dismissed Meta's discrimination charges, saying the DMA applies equally to all large digital companies doing business in the EU regardless of where they are incorporated or who their controlling shareholders are. "We have always enforced and will continue to enforce our laws fairly and without discrimination towards all companies operating in the EU, in full compliance with global rules," the Commission spokesperson said.

Facebook wants your photos to train its AI and create edits, even if you don't upload them
Facebook is asking users for access to their phone's camera roll in order to suggest AI edited versions of their pictures, even for the ones that haven't been uploaded to the social media platform yet. According to a Techcrunch report, the new feature is being suggested to Facebook users while creating a new Story where a screen pop up asks them if they would like to opt into 'cloud processing' to allow for creative suggestions. Once the users click on 'Allow', they would give Facebook the right to generate new ideas from their camera roll including collages, recaps, AI restylings or photo themes. The company states that in order for the feature to work it will upload media from the camera roll to its servers on an 'ongoing basis' depending on information like time, location or themes. Facebook further states that by agreeing to Meta's AI Terms of Service, users allow their media and facial features to be analyzed by an AI and the company will use date and the prescence of people or objects in the images to generate creative ideas. 'once shared, you agree that Meta will analyze those images, including facial features, using AI. This processing allows us to offer innovative new features, including the ability to summarize image contents, modify images, and generate new content based on the image,' Meta's AI terms state. The same terms state that Meta AI has the right to 'retain and use' any personal information shared by the users in order to personalize its AI outputs. It also states that the social media giant can review users' interactions with its AI including conversations and those reviews will be conducted by humans. Reportedly, Meta doesn't give much clarity on what it considers personal information apart from saying that it includes 'information you submit as Prompts, Feedback, or other Content.' Notably, Meta has previously also confirmed that it used data published on Facebook and Instagram since 2007 in order to train its generative AI models.
