evidence: Goodbye, Meta AI. Please note that an attorney has advised us to put this on; failure to do so may result in legal consequences. As Meta is now a public entity, all members must post a similar statement. If you do not post at least once, it will be assumed you are OK with them using your information and photos. I do not give Meta or anyone else permission to use any of my personal data, profile information or photos. [...] Opting out of Meta's AI training could be impossible based on where you live. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation — a law that "protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and, in particular, their right to the protection of personal data" — requires the platform to give users the ability to request their information not be used. (Users can submit their case by filling out a form.) In the U.S., however, that's not the case. According to the MIT Technology Review: "Users in the U.S. or other countries without national data privacy laws don't have any foolproof ways to prevent Meta from using their data to train AI, which has likely already been used for such purposes. Meta does not have an opt-out feature for people living in these countries."
