Apple changes full-disk access permissions to curb abuse from AI agents
Meta says FDA isn't sufficient to Muse reading messages. Apple begs to differ.
What the coverage shows
TechCrunch and 9to5Mac both frame the story as Apple tightening macOS privacy protections in response to AI agents and their requests for Full Disk Access. TechCrunch is more specific, saying Apple will add new controls and spelling out the kinds of data that broad access can reach, while 9to5Mac emphasizes the general privacy warning and notes that Apple has not shared specifics. 9to5Mac alone includes Apple’s language about “extraordinary” access.
