Facebook & Instagram Warning! Meta will use your data to train AI models: How to opt out!

So Mr. Zuckerberg is at it again, Wants to use your data to train its AI. Obviously we do not want this. Below is how you can opt out!

How to opt out of Meta using your information

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to object to your data being used.

To do this on Facebook, you’ll need to navigate to the Facebook privacy policy. Follow these steps if you’re using the desktop version:

• Log into your Facebook account
• Select ‘settings and privacy’
• Select ‘privacy center’
• Scroll down and select: ‘What is the privacy policy and what does it cover?’
• At the top of the page, there should be a message about the update to Meta’s privacy policy and a link labelled ‘right to object’
• You will then be prompted to complete a form to object to your data being used.

If you’re using the Facebook app on Android, select ”help and support’, then ‘terms and policies’. Select ‘privacy policy’ and follow steps 5 and 6 above.

If you’re using the Facebook app on Apple, choose ‘settings and privacy’, then ‘settings’. Scroll down to ‘privacy policy’ and follow steps 5 and 6 above.

Even if you opt out, your information may still be used to train Meta’s AI models, via data scraped from other users who have shared your info.

For example, this could be an image of you shared by someone else, or you being mentioned in someone else’s posts.

On Instagram, you can opt out by navigating to the Privacy Centre. At the top of the page, you should see a notification about the privacy policy update and a link to object to how your information will be used.
