A small portion of the article:

At the end of May, Meta will start using Europeans’ data to train its AI. Here is how you can exercise your rights and prevent it.

Instagram and Facebook users in Europe will soon have their data and posts used by parent company Meta to train its artificial intelligence (AI) models.

Europeans have until May 27 to restrict Meta from using their data, the date when the company will start using Europe’s data.

Just delete all Meta stuff. All of it.

Even if they do that, what's to stop meta from just pulling from other places, such as lemmy

[–] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 5 points 1 week ago

Meta doesn't own Lemmy. But If Lemmy employed the same tactics, drop them too. The Internet is not just social media.

I am completely confident that a company that has admitted to torrenting sans seeding to train its model before has not already yeeted all the things...

Poison your Facebook account and anything you post. Let their AI be trained on garbage so it becomes a liability.

They're training that model on nothing but bot posts and your aunt, so good luck to the engineers working on that.

This sounds a lot like the warning everyone's grandma shares every other week.

I do not give Facebook permission to use my photos! Repost so others can also be protected!
