If it's public posts then what's the privacy concern? This is stuff that people are deliberately and explicitly making available for all to see.

Also, the last paragraph of the article says that Meta is pausing this initiative after a request from Ireland's Data Protection Commission. It seems a bit clickbaity to me to be hiding that down at the very end of the article.

Movies are shown to the public. It doesn’t mean I can copy them for free.

You can with a torrent client and a magnet link

We're talking about legally, not practically. Obviously copying movies is physically possible.
