OI! FACEBOOK USERS WHO HATE AI! GUESS WHAT!
META IS GOING TO FEED YOUR POSTS AND IMAGES AND COMMENTS TO THEIR AI!
From what I understand this is already being implemented for Americans, with no opt-out option, but there is apparently a form you can fill in to ask them to remove all your data.
For us in the EU, we can fill in a form to object to our stuff being added, but there are some things we need to pay extra attention to:
Meta has to approve of the objection — meaning that sending it in doesn't necessarily mean it will go through
In the country they want the ISO country code (e.g. SE for Sweden). I read that someone got it to work by writing Italy rather than Italia, but I am unsure if that works for all countries
EVEN IF YOUR OBJECTION IS APPROVED, YOUR STUFF CAN BE ADDED TO META AI IF SOMEONE WHO HASN'T OBJECTED TO META AI SHARE YOUR POST/IMAGES TO THEIR PAGE
A verification code will be sent to your email, so make sure you write in the email you use for fb correctly and be prepared to check the spamfolder
It's supposed to be implemented the 26th of June here, so do it asap
MAKE SURE TO MENTION GDPR!!!
I don't know what the situation about this is for people outside EU, so if you happens to know please add to this with whatever information you have!
Check the notifications on your fb account and you should find one from Meta with all the relevant links there!
I will also copy what I wrote in the form into the comments on this post (for easy copying) in case someone doesn't have the spoons to write their own reasons. It's far from perfect but it's better than not doing it at all.
Also I don't know if this includes Instagram, I couldn't see anything about it over there, but I imagine it does or will soon enough, so keep your eyes open for that too.
(Also, hate to be that person, but please reblog to spread awareness!)
