Instagram is training AI on your data. It’s nearly impossible to opt out

  You opt out by simply never giving them any of your data.

  Opting out is easy. Come to Pixelfed, they sure as hell aren't IG.

  “These features and experiences need to be trained on information that reflects the diverse cultures and languages of the European communities who will use them.”

  No, they do not, these features and experiences don’t need to exist at all.

  UK citizens can also opt out, as the Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of GDPR and confers all of the same rights.

  In my opt out, I have also reminded them of their obligation to delete data when I do not consent to its use, so since I have denied consent, any of my data that has been used must be scrubbed from the training sets and resulting AI outputs derived from the unauthorised use of my data.

    Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they’d rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).

  Social media that requires an account to view stuff aren’t worth even visiting.

  I don’t have an Instagram account.

  I mean, I guess maybe someone could take a picture of me and upload it to Instagram and label it or something. And it’s possible to infer that two people are associated by having a picture containing both them that you run facial recognition or something on. I guess you could kind of think of that as being “my data” in an indirect sense.

  Talk about begging the question. Block all Meta domains at the router level, and … uh … don’t have an account.
