Just discovered #Meta is using my purged #Facebook accounts (pre-2017) for #AI training. Getting emails about "account being used for AI" despite having terminated them years ago. Apparently "removing" just means they keep everything while locking you out. The kicker? To object to this use, they expect me to log into these nonexistent accounts! The audacity of exploiting data from accounts that should've been expunged years ago is infuriating. Meta's data practices remain as predatory as ever.

@gigi ! thank your for the tip ! I did just close my years old unused account upon receiving this email.
...
so I canceled suppression (was still in the shitty month delay before it's supposedly deleted), refused their AI crap, then re-asked for deletion.

What a mess. How are they even remotely allowed to operate any private data at all.

@squalouJenkins @gigi until they have another go at it. I already opted out months ago when I got the first email, but got the same email again a few days ago... They say you can ignore the new email if you already opted out... But can we? 🙄
@PierricD @gigi thing is, at least in EU if they happen to send an email to a supposedly closed account, that 's supposed to be worth a serious legal complaint.
