Your Data to Train Meta's AI
Meta expects to gather or use public user data to help train its generative AI, which is able to produce texts, images and other media. This includes things you have previously shared on Facebook and Instagram — posts, reactions, and photos.
Notably, private messages and content from users under 18 are exempt, Meta says. However, this decision has had privacy implications, especially because many of its users didn't have in mind that what they posted would be used for AI training.
