I was able to find this in the mobile app, but the suggested phrase in the blog was not long enough so I had to add a few more words. So great of them to make it so confusing and difficult!

In the EU you get a second link that says "right to object" a few lines above the "Learn more and submit requests here" link. Just to be extra sure: use both!

Just did this and got a reply back from Facebook saying they won't necessarily respect my wishes, they will be reviewing whether or not they are legally obligated to care based on where I live.

I'm in Canada. I sent a request and got an automated response basically saying, "We got your request but we haven't decided if we're just going to ignore it or not. We're waiting to see what your gov't threatens us with first."

For me, this led to a form - exactly as shown in step 7 - that clearly only excludes personal info *from third parties*. There is no way to opt out of info you directly add to FB/IG/Threads being used for AI training.

Can't help but notice their response email includes this line: "We don’t automatically fulfill requests and we review them consistent with your local laws." Which sounds a lot like "If you aren't in Europe this did bupkiss." It's still slightly better than the weird meme that used to go around.

Just ran the sequence with my wife’s Samsung mobile - worked fine as you described. I didn’t find the mobile platform to be participate onerous to work with. For my part, I wouldn’t have anything to do with Zuck’s scam products, so I’m sorted.

My family (who thinks I'm kooky) was so upset with me a decade+ ago when I was like "no, sorry, if you want to post a family photo to Facebook, you better take one without me in it." But now I get to be like "yes, I was correct, as you always eventually discover. Please just trust me next time."

This is opt-out only (at best) is for the people with accounts still active on these platforms. It says nothing about consent from the people *in* the pictures who could not possibly have consented to having their image sucked into an LLM. The company is unsalvageable. It needs to be erased.

As long as you're logged into Facebook, it will come up for your user account, and you don't have to dig through the mountain of text.
