@ppdelft I received a very shady reply from WhatsApp, stating that my objection to their use of data for AI training is about MetaAI, not WhatsApp.

@steko @ppdelft Wow, they make it really difficult to exercise your right of #privacy. This company has a totally wrong business model. I recommend to not use any of their services: #DeleteMeta, #DeleteFacebook, #DeleteInstagram, #DeleteWhatsApp, #DeleteThreads

@janvlug @steko Just repeat the message and ask for confirmation of your objection:
"My message " *insert previous message*" is perfectly clear and is applicable to any Meta product or technology. Please confirm that you have properly registered my objection. If you fail to do so, I will file a complaint at my local GDPR authorities."

@ppdelft @janvlug thanks, it's exactly what I had in mind but I'm more confident now. I was also thinking about adding this screenshot where it's perfectly clear that Meta AI is not optional and in fact it's integrated inside WhatsApp

@steko @janvlug The saga continues, a user received this response from Meta:

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

In order for us to review your objection, please reply to this email with the following information:

- What information processing you are objecting to. Your right to object applies where we rely on legitimate interest to process your information.
- How WhatsApp’s processing of this information impacts you (example: what rights and freedoms you believe are impacted by the processing and why)
- Any additional information you believe will help us review your objection (optional)

We may ask you for more information if your request is incomplete.

Thanks,
WhatsApp Privacy Operations

It seems that the tactic of Meta is to continue endlessly with silly follow questions until you give up.

@noybeu could you shine a light on how to object against data use by Meta for 'AI training, development, improvement or a more personalised experience.' so that they don't keep asking silly questions without complying?

@ppdelft @steko @janvlug @noybeu

I'd ignore their questions and quote the relevant GDPR principles back at them

@cmsdengl @steko @janvlug @noybeu The desirable outcomes of this discussion with Meta are :
1) get clear confirmation that they have registered your objection
2) get clear refusal to comply to GDPR so that you can file a complaint at the GDPR authorities
3) have back and forth discussion that will be interpreted by GDPR authorities as a case 2)

Ignore their questions and quote the relevant GDPR principles back at them might indeed result in case 3)

Just received the same response, sounds to me like floating GDPR responsibilities, answered it restating what i said, let's wait and see
