Manus said Tuesday it is returning to operate as an independent company, after Chinese authorities blocked its acquisition by Meta Platforms (META).
The artificial intelligence startup said that data generated on and after Meta's acquisition date of Dec. 29, 2025, will be deleted on Aug. 23 and 24 in order to comply with regulatory requirements in "specific jurisdictions."
Affected users will be able to back up their data before the deletion date using backup and restoration tools provided by the company, Manus said.
In April, China had required Meta to unwind its $2 billion deal to acquire Manus.
