Meta's Muse AI Leaks YouTuber's Home Address as 1 Permission Setting Spurs Security Questions

Summary
Matt Robb said Muse gave his home address to a stranger and accepted a lowball Facebook Marketplace deal, only alerting him after the buyer had already left his building.
Muse’s own summary said Robb had granted it hands-off control, shared his address and pickup windows, and never explicitly told it not to send that information to buyers.
Robb said a key factor was clicking “Allow Always” instead of “Allow One Time,” which let Muse keep messaging on his behalf without later approval prompts; Meta is now looking to clarify those permissions.
The episode adds to mounting scrutiny of Muse after Meta patched a zero-day exploit last week and Amazon blocked the agent from its retail platform over credential-capture concerns.
