How to object to Meta using your data for training its AI



What information is Meta using to train AI?

Meta has shared that it plans to use public information including public posts, photos, captions and comments from the accounts of users aged 18 and older to train its AI models. The company has also stated that private messages are not used to train AI.

Does opting out mean that Meta won’t train AI on your content?

Not necessarily. You can choose to object to your content being used to train AI by following the steps above, however, Meta does say that it might still use certain information about you to develop its AI. This includes any images or mentions of you shared publically by another user on a Meta platform.

If this makes you uncomfortable, you can ask your friends and family not to share photos of you on their accounts, but there’s no guarantee that this will prevent others from uploading images of you.
