If you’re in the EU and you opted out of Meta training generative AI on your Facebook, Threads and Instagram posts and pictures, Meta are requiring you to opt out *again* or they will continue training on your data.

Users have until May 27 2025 to opt out again or forever lose the right. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/05/meta-is-making-users-who-opted-out-of-ai-training-opt-out-again-watchdog-says/

This is the random ass opt out URL, which isn’t advertised in their apps: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/6359191084165019

Instagram opt out: https://help.instagram.com/contact/233964459562201

Meta is making users who opted out of AI training opt out again, watchdog says

EU users have less than two weeks to opt out of Meta’s AI training.

@GossiTheDog Thanks. I did that, and got a message: "We will honour your objection

"This means that your request will be applied from now on for developing and improving AI at Meta. We'll send you an email with details."

Still looks like doublespeak to me! Happily the email they sent is clearer.

@carusb Whatever they say I'm not sure I believe them!
