bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain because they relate to

The theatre was told that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform [topics that are central to Woolf’s work] are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system” and are filtered out.

To resolve the situation, Meta recommended removing “key words” so that the text doesn’t appear to encourage activism.

                            Either way, an agent that shops for you needs access to your accounts, a new place your logins and purchase data can flow.

                            So what: don't install Muse. Until it's clear what these agents store, don't hand one the keys to your accounts. If you use one, give it a single-use card, never a master password.
