Just a quick note or reminder for anyone who’s interested:
Starting May 27, Meta AI will use data from Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to train its AI—unless you’ve opted out beforehand. However, you can only opt out of having your data used for AI on Facebook and Instagram. And that’s exactly what I just did. If you want to opt out of having your data used, you only have until tomorrow.
Best regards, Ina

Yes, I’ve opted out too, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to prevent this in the long run.

Dear Veronika, I want to at least make sure I’ve exhausted all my options.

That’s why I’ve avoided Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. from the very beginning, because our data is never safe with the Americans, no matter what they write. I’m perfectly happy with what I have; anyone who wants to reach me has my phone number, mobile number, and email address.
Best regards, Inge

Of course, you’re looking at this from a private individual’s perspective.
But if, like me, you have a professional Facebook page featuring your own creative ideas and images, you’ll want to think even more carefully about whether to tacitly allow access to and use of your data or to opt out by objecting. If you haven’t opted out of the use of your data by tomorrow, you’ll never be able to do so afterward. That’s the only reason I posted this reminder here today for everyone to whom it applies.

Hi, I’ve been fiddling with this for ages, but I can’t figure out how or where to opt out. 🙈
I click on the three dots in my profile, which takes me to Facebook’s explanation of how to opt out, but I keep getting a message telling me to switch to my page, even though I’m already on it.
Could you please, please tell me how you did it?
Thank you so much and best regards, Marion

Hi.
I Googled it and went to the ZDF website, where there are direct links to the forms on Facebook and Instagram. It worked well for me.

I did the same thing as Claudia when I read the post on the ZDF website today. It explains how to do it there.

Thank you very much for the heads-up that the deadline is approaching.
Here’s a link from the Consumer Advice Center that explains how to opt out in case the links don’t work (Instagram didn’t work for me):
