"Protect Your Data: Opting Out of Meta's AI Training with Facebook"

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has introduced a new privacy setting that allows users to request that their data not be used to train AI models. However, this setting only applies to third-party data that Meta has scraped, purchased, or licensed from outside sources, and not to the data users input directly into Meta's platforms. The effectiveness of this setting is also questionable, as it relies on users providing their name and email address, and it is unclear how Meta will search for and remove specific data related to individuals. The availability and extent of these data privacy rights also vary depending on the user's country of residence and local laws.
