Manus to Spin Off from Meta, Deleting Some User Data
Manus will return to operating as an independent company
Manus will return to operating as an independent company, requiring the deletion of data generated by certain users on or after December 29, 2025, to comply with regulatory requirements. Affected users can back up data until August 23, 2026, and restore it starting August 25, 2026. Unaffected users can continue using the service without action. The company assures users this is not due to a security incident and will provide support throughout the transition.
Your support is the reason Manus exists, and we’re sincerely grateful for your continued trust.

Does anyone here use Manus actively?
I found it worse than alternatives in the similar space (Claude, genspark, kagi research, etc.) and slightly baffling they were being acquired at a $2B valuation in the first place.

Perhaps unfairly my interest suddenly dropped to zero when the acquisition was announced. The hype also seemed gone?

Anyone have info on whose regulatory restrictions they are referring to?

This has to be one of the most flash in the pan, 5 minutes of fame company in a long time
It's crazy how short it's hype cycle lasted

I bet Demis wishes the UK had blocked the DeepMind acquisition by Google. He will have a lot of time to think now that he has been kicked out of his own company
