How to revoke AI consent from Meta/IG?


Every time I try to do it, the site crashes or I have to start from scratch. (I have +20 years of experience as an engineer, from which almost 10 working with privacy and I have no clue how to do that.)

If you managed to do it, can you please tell me how. I want to spread the message.

Objection forms,

As for what to put inside the objection form, you can say something like:

> I do not consent to the use of my data for AI training, improvement, or personalized services.

and in the additional information box, you can put something like:

> If my objection is not honored, I will cease using all Meta products indefinitely.

There should be absolutely no reason for Meta not to honor your request.

Only applies to the EU, but noyb has launched complaints on the matter.

Honestly, there is no way. Even if you do manage to fill out their opt-out forms, they will successfully opt you out of most internal AI training, but metadata will still be trained on and AI projects which are either too important or unmaintained will still use your data. In ten years there will probably be a lawsuit about it and you’ll receive 10 dollars in damages. Oh, and this isn’t unique to Meta, and I have no special knowledge about Meta to inform this. This is just true about all large tech companies.

The only way to be sure is to not use their products.
