**[Bloomberg: Meta Completes Operational and Data Separation with Manus to Comply with Regulatory Forced Divestiture Order]** According to monitoring by Beating, Meta Platforms Inc. has completed operational isolation from intelligent agent service provider Manus and terminated data sharing. Bloomberg reports that since early June, Meta has prohibited Manus employees from accessing internal data systems, and Meta's internal staff have also been restricted from using Manus tools. An internal Meta memo indicates that the company is gradually phasing out support for Manus and has instructed employees to migrate existing projects and refrain from initiating new tasks. The operational separation by Meta is in response to a divestiture request issued by Chinese regulators in April. Meta had previously paid $2 billion to acquire Manus. Currently, Manus's three founders—Xiao Hong, Ji Yichao, and Zhang Tao—are seeking to raise approximately $1 billion to buy back the company. Despite the divestiture, investors Tencent, ZhenFund, and Sequoia China (HSG) have already received Meta's acquisition payments. At present, Manus is still advancing feature integrations with Similarweb and Shopify, and this week users can still connect Manus to external services such as Meta Ads Manager, Instagram, Gmail, and GitHub.
