## Meta removes hidden AI rules
Meta removed 102 blocks of hidden AI instructions from 80 public WhatsApp help pages after a software bug exposed chatbot rules for responding to account deletion and legal questions.
## Hidden rules prevented legal advice
One rule told the chatbot not to direct users who could not delete their accounts to data protection authorities or regulators. A separate rule addressed lawsuits and other legal action.
## Guidance removed by Oct 17
Archived versions of one account-deletion page lacked the hidden text on July 12 but contained it by Sept.4.The guidance remained in page code at 5:40 p.m.et (21:40 utc) on oct.15.
## Key takeaway

Meta removed 102 hidden AI instructions from 80 public WhatsApp help pages to prevent legal advice during account deletion queries.
