Meta has announced that it will utilize publicly available data, such as images and videos, to enhance its Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. The company's privacy policy states that data like posts, photos, and captions shared on the platform will be used for training AI models, excluding private messages. Users were informed about upcoming AI features, with their data set to be used by default unless they opt-out through a somewhat complex process.
Despite providing an opt-out option, Meta retains the right to refuse requests, citing 'legitimate interests' as the legal basis for using user information to develop and improve AI. The process to opt-out involves users explaining why they do not want their data used for AI training, with a user named Tantacrul criticizing the design for potentially discouraging objections. The steps to opt-out include navigating to notifications, finding the 'right to object' link, filling out a form, and confirming submission with a One-Time Password.
