Meta disabled Instagram's Muse Image AI just three days after launch following backlash over its opt-out consent model for using public accounts.
Anthropic restored Claude Fable 5 on July 1 after a 19-day government-ordered suspension, but the model blocks all NSFW content — and Mythos 5 remains restricted.
