Instagram is updating it's privacy policy to give you the right to not have your data used to train AI going forward.
Here is the email I received:
We're getting ready to expand our AI at Meta experiences to your region. AI at Meta is our collection of generative AI features and experiences, such as Meta AI and AI creative tools, along with the models that power them.
What this means for you
To help bring these experiences to you, we'll now rely on the legal basis called legitimate interests for using your information to develop and improve AI at Meta. This means that you have the right to object to how your information is used for these purposes. If your objection is honoured, it will be applied from then on.
How do I object the use of my data to included in AI training data?
You can fill out this form to object from having your data used in the future.
Once you have given a reason you need to verify your email (because they send you a code). Then, at least for me, it took minutes for them to reply and say my data will not be used going forward.
Do you notice the wording?
If your objection is honoured, it will be applied from then on.
So it looks like our data has been used in the past but for any future AI training and developments it will not be used.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for reading and I hope this was helpful.
If you think someone else should know this then share this article with them so they can also object Instagram from training their AI with their data.

Meta has already sent these emails to all of its users, hasn't it?
