Having given up on Facebook years ago because of my concerns about privacy, I rarely login now.
This is a heads up about Meta, privacy, and your data.
From 26 June 2024, Facebook will use your photos, posts, and other info to train its AI.
You can opt out...but Meta has intentionally made it complicated!
Here is a detailed “How to opt out” with screenshots.
Unsurprisingly, given it's owned by Meta, Instagram is jumping on the AI bandwagon and this is particularly worrying…

Zoom has just gone idiotic 🤦
Attached: 1 image honestly feel like I'm losing my fucking mind reading this shit. how does this make any fucking sense? you send an AI bot to a video meeting you're not attending where presumably other coworkers will also send their bots?????? to what fucking end? what is the point of this? why are we having NPCs video chat with eachother? what gets done with this? what is the purpose? how is this not just a fucking email? is this what jokerfication is? this doesn't make any fucking sense!
@TCMuffin I went through this the other day when I had the message through about them using my data. I copy and pasted a generic 'I do not give permission for you to use this data because of *insert privacy law of your country here* type thing, and within a minute had a response saying they were going to honour my request to opt out. Lord knows if they'll actually stick by that, but it's peace of mind, isn't it.
Thanks for creating and sharing such a detailed "How To".
I'm just so ticked off with Meta needing an "opt out" rather than an "opt in" which goes against all the priciples of GDPR 😡
And you know I'm a "detail woman" 🫢
Use a VPN and say you’re in the UK/EU 🤔
Sadly, it seems the abiity to opt out is only available in the EU and UK.
So far, it seems to be unavailable in Canada, the US and Austarlia 😡
Are you connecting via a VPN?
I agree! I’ll be downloading all my Facebook data and deleting all from Facebook as I don’t trust them an inch 🤦
I’ll have a look and see if they’ve pulled it when I’m on my laptop 👍
I wondered this too when I read Facebook’s reply 🫣
for people who dislike typing.
cut n paste version of the objection from images 3 & 4
Also if the search doesnt show the 'how can i object' link, change the first word in search to "objections" and it should show up.

I don't, but my guess would be that they can 😖
The Instagram warning is even more concerning...
Even if you don't use our Products and services or have an account, we may still process information about you to develop and improve Al at Meta...WTF 😡
For example, this could happen if you appear anywhere in an image shared on our Products or services by someone who does use them or if someone mentions information about you in posts or captions that they share on our Products and services.
AFAIK, yes. Instagram’s is particularly worrying with its “Even if you don’t use our Products or services…”
I’m in the UK and as far as I know, the option to opt out is only in the EU and UK.
Australia, Canada, and the US don’t seem to have the option 🤬
@TCMuffin I tried to delete my account yesterday but despite several attempts it just comes up "something went wrong"
This is the brutal face of big tech: users are profit fodder, prisoners.
It’s seems the option to object only applies to the EU and UK.
Others based in Australia, Canada, and the US have said they don’t have the option 😣
It may be because it seems you're in Canada 🤔

I did wonder if using a VPN would get around the geographic block🤔
Of course 😤
Exactly this 👍
