Oh no…now Meta is automatically sharing our private messages to its AI. As far as I can tell, you can only turn it off for each message thread, one at a time (and there seems to be no option to turn it off *at all* for group threads!). Yet another privacy disaster from Facebook.
I use Messenger btw for family and non-tech friends, so don’t (ahem) shoot the messenger.
@ricmac I have to say: desperate times call for desperate measures.
My humble suggestion to you:
(1) Prepare a Signal group.
(2) Leave Facebook.
(3) Friends & family will ask why.
(4) Tell them and propose Signal.
(5) Some will migrate, some won't.
Eventually, mid-term, you'll find yourself in a better situation than when you get rid of the Meta leash, and also better than before Meta existed. This is the 1st step of the mile.
It worked for me!
