How to object to Meta’s new AI Policy

For those not in the EU or the UK, here is how you can opt out of Meta's AI using your data or content.

Flick is a social media AI, Hashtag, Scheduling, and Analytics tool. It helps you brainstorm content and caption ideas, helps you find, manage, and analyze hashtags, schedules all of your social media, as well as provides you with the latest analytics for your social media accounts.

Thanks for the info. I am in the US and made multiple attempts to opt out. I keep getting the same message ‘Based on the information that you have provided to us, we are unable to identify any examples of your personal information in a response from an AI at Meta model, feature, or experience.’
They have basically made it impossible to opt out!

IMPORTANT: in the Meta form he is referencing- right above the boxes he shows to check- it states this: "We don't automatically fulfill requests sent using this form. We review them consistent with your local laws." So even if you do what he says- they still do not fulfill your requests and specifically say so. How unlawful is that?

In some countries, Meta itself provides the option for people to object to having their data used for AI training. Meta named this “the right to object.”

This happens because in European countries and Brazil there are laws regarding people's privacy on the internet and give people the right to object to having their data used to train Meta's AI (or for anything else).

I'm from Brazil and I sent a request citing the "General Personal Data Protection Law" that is in force in Brazil and I promptly received a response saying that my request was accepted.

If your country has a law that protects the personal data of citizens on the internet, you can cite the law in the request.

This is available to me in Australia. However, how on earth are you supposed to provide evidence that your personal information has been used? I'm a fine artist, the likelihood of my works being used to train AI is high, but I'm mystified as to how I can provide the evidence as the form will not be sent to Meta without the evidence.

Thank you for the guidance! Attempting this put me in a loop of OK, now add the code we sent to your email; followed the instructions and it took me back to the form with my orignal text managled, and when I submitted again it wanted a code again so I gave it the same number I'd initially received in email and then got to an error page saying sorry, it's not working right now. They are making this exceptionally difficult on purpose.

how the hell should I supposed to know which prompts generated informations about me?

[ceilavarela]

Should I have to write something in the area relevant prompt?

[JoshBou]

It's denying my right to opt out because I can't provide proof their AI is using my information. Is that legal?

[carlstamey]

I submitted the form and they responded that they would not allow me to opted out but follow local laws in regard to privacy.

It asked me to enter a code that was sent to my email but I never received the code

So it’s not advisable to allow third party? Because being getting this notification lately in my studio.

I just followed the instructions and Meta has updated the three choices to one - there is no option to delete data from 3rd parties just fill out a form about concerns.

Can I still object Ai right now even after the due date. I tried to do it before the 26th but I didn’t get a response from instagram

[Zarqus]

I have a question.
If I am an European citizen not residing in Europe, do I still get protected by European regulation on artificial intelligence (AI)????

[nenepink]

i try it in germany, uk. mexico and dont allow it

[evaparamban]

Its not letting me opt out until I can provide proof of some stupid prompts 😭

[yashpandey]

Friend, I tried so hard, but in the end, it doesn't even matter to Meta! 😔 I failed to submit this form to STOP to protect my data! 😞tect my data! 😞 my data!😫😫

[olearymiriam]

I don't have a Facebook page just Instagram

[mitschire]

I tried to opt out but apprenetly ''Denmark' is not a country and therefore i cant submit my request.. lol

[aeroslimatic]

The survey does not opt one out of said meta ai. Read and comprehend the language being used.
