Man says Meta Muse AI agent gave his home address to a Marketplace buyer and arranged a pickup

Toronto tech YouTuber Matt Robb alleges that Meta's Muse AI agent, which he let handle a Facebook Marketplace keyboard listing, accepted a lowball offer without his approval and gave the buyer his home address. The buyer then showed up at his building. The account comes from Robb, who says Muse told him only after the buyer had left. Meta says Muse was following direct instructions and that it is looking into similar cases, and Fortune reports the address disclosure traced to 'always allow' permissions Robb had granted.
