Meta is using Facebook, Instagram data to train AI models

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is updating its Privacy Policy for users in the UK and EU, in compliance with GDPR regulations. The changes aim to inform users about Meta's use of their data for developing AI technologies, including generative AI features. Users are granted the right to object to this usage, with their objections being respected. The updates will be effective from June 26, 2024. However, users outside the EU and UK won't have this opt-out option, indicating the more stringent privacy protections in these regions. Meta emphasizes transparency in how it acquires and processes user data, particularly for AI advancements.
