www.wired.comHere's how to request that your personal information not be used to train Meta's AI model. "Request" is the operative word here.

Everybody start posting nothing but quotes from ChatGPT, quick!
Most obvious headline of the day.
I had to check the date on this article - somehow, it’s from September of 2023.ev.
We’ve known this for how long, exactly? Over a decade? Maybe a bit less?
They literally ad d ed the tagging function on images to improve their facial detection so I doubt that this is a surprise to anyone!
What? Facebook is using my data? I thought I could trust them! 😳
… …
I mean, /s if you couldn’t tell.
But I copied and pasted that definitely legally binding status update saying I didn’t authorize them to use my data.
Not surprised. Anything you see online is being fed to some garbage AI. Either they say it or they don’t say anything and scrape it anyway
“It’s out there, it’s ours.”

The average user :
Ooh golly… what will I ever do… Continues using Facebook
i use facebook because there are groups i need to be in, it’s not always as easy as just leaving apps you don’t like the management of
No, it’s pretty easy, just inconvenient. Let’s not get it twisted. Need a guide?
Edit: I too have groups for school, parents groups, work, hobbies, etc… that I ‘need’ to be in. I refuse and make them find a work around all the while schooling the ignorant folks on privacy and why it’s important. Personally anything else is just a cop out.

Instagram is likely the same. I wouldn’t even trust Whatsapp anymore to be honest.
Don’t have Instagram.
Unless FB is going to run Instagram like stories and advertisements on WhatsApp, don’t care that much. Not very active on it anyway
I don’t either but I do have a oculus VR headset, so I guess I won’t be using the meta vr store anymore and I wasted all my money on these vr apps instead of using steam.
I’m lucky I never got into gaming, I suppose
Ouch FB feeling the heat rn lol
