Princess Catherine is back!! 

Over the weekend we saw the Princess of Wales step out for the first time since announcement of her cancer diagnosis. Photos of her spending time on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the celebrations for the Kings birthday.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp and Instagram has recently let us know that our publicly posted photos and videos are about to be used to train their AI. 

But what does that mean?
