I was getting this from inside the US, however setting my VPN to LA worked to get around it. I assume this is because that's where the Meta engineers are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh wow, thanks for finding this. I am also in TX. I was going crazy thinking it might be my iCloud Private Relay

I think Texas has some recent law that could be interpreted as being against twinning tech / deep fakes like the voice cloning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems like a good time to "ask the lawyers" and "not make a not political statement"

Even a passing glance it would be immediately clear that it's not a real risk of any sort.
