Here’s How You Can Avoid Getting Your Data Used by Meta to Train Its AI | ThatsMyAI

Meta's use of Facebook and Instagram data for AI training has raised privacy concerns among users. Here’s how to take control of your data and opt out:

Understanding Meta's Data Usage

Meta utilizes content shared on its platforms, including posts and photos, to train its AI systems. This happens automatically unless users opt out.

Steps to Opt Out

1. Via Notification: If you received a notification about AI training, click through it and select ‘right to object.’

2. Direct Link: Alternatively, you can opt out directly through Meta’s provided link.

Detailed Steps

• Notification Method:

• Open the notification on your Facebook profile.

• Click on the 'right to object' option.

• Follow the prompts to complete the opt-out process.

• Direct Link Method:

• Visit the provided link.

• Enter your country of residence and email.

• State your reason for opting out, e.g., "I don't want my data used."

Once submitted, you will receive confirmation from Meta that your data won't be used for AI training. However, note that this does not cover instances where your data appears in other users' posts.

Additional Considerations

• Non-users: Even if you don’t have a Facebook or Instagram account, your information can still be used if shared by others.

Continuous Vigilance: Regularly check your privacy settings and stay updated with Meta’s policies to ensure your data remains protected.
