again, today's the last day to try to opt out of facebook/instagram's AI bullshit.

follow these instructions. If they refuse or something you can keep that email as proof when they inevitably get got for this

lf you leave off the period at the end of the request statement the answer is one character short. I got the "too short" message, went back and added the period, and it worked.

I did it and got a response basically saying they review these based on the laws where you live. IE you aren't automatically opted out just by filling out the form.

I tried but got nowhere. I'm just not longer sharing art on those sites. More than likely, everything has already been scrapped 😩

That was so frustrating. Many thanks to the hero who wrote out those instructions.

Thanks for that; what really ticks me off about this is I already went through this when they emailed me about Instagram; why do we have to do this on each site seperately when they're all in the same Meta dataset? I guess it's because if we forget on one of them, they can still try and use it.

The reply I got: “Hi, Thank you for contacting us. Based on the information that you have provided to us, we are unable to identify any examples of your personal information in a response from one of Meta’s generative AI models. As a result, we cannot take further action on your request.”

I did this, but FB never sent me the email with the six digit code. I tried three times, so look out for that. (Though I'm typing this coming up on midnight East Coast time, so it's probably too late anyway.)

Y'all can cut out about nine of those steps (at least if you live in the us) and just click this link to go directly to the form.

But you should know this doesn't do anything about your posts or chats or photos

There ought to be laws against making it this hard to opt out. For real! That's the kind of chilling effect we need.

I just did it, and I slightly modified the statement that was to be written in the text box at the end. I took out “I wish to“ and just directly said “I exercise my rights“ Just so that there’s no wiggle room.

Thank you for this. Even if my hopes are slim at least sending something is better than nothing. Your steps were very useful and transparent! (It's nice that SOMEONE knows what transparency is!)

Interestingly, I was able to complete the process described, but when I hit the final submit after entering the code they'd sent, I immediately received a "confirmation" email saying thanks for sending the request and stating that Meta doesn't always honor consumer requests depending on state laws.😏

FYI - they will no longer take your short-and-sweet sentence as the reason. When I entered the 6-digit number, I got an error saying "Response is too short", and then I had to wait for yet another secret number to do it again. My longer reply had rather more all cap phrases.

I managed to get the Right to Object form working, if only temporarily, by changing my region to Germany English, using a VPN, and (unsure if relevant) changing my "lives in" profile status to somewhere in the EU. Ironically, the Right to Object link no longer works for me but I managed to opt out

Followed the steps to a T and they basically said, "LOL what? No."
