#Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users!

Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you’re logged in to and any accounts that you’ve added to the same Accounts Centre.

Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don’t scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

Doing the rounds now as well by Irish Media i.e. RTE & Examiner!

My approval for my account to be scrapped has been disabled since last year. Have you that setting turned off?

It will be interesting to find out, if the platform is honouring that setting. My account is protected and my last post on the platform was 2 Feb and a reply on 28th March.

Didn't know of change in the international name: -

[1] XIUC advised the DPC on 25 March 2025 that, from 1 April 2025, the name of the Irish entity and Data Controller for EU users of X would change from Twitter International Unlimited Company (‘TIUC’) to X Internet Unlimited Company as part of ongoing Twitter to X rebranding efforts.

Edit: - Linking to grok settings not allowed on here?

Was just jumping on to share this glad I searched first!

Cool feature add is to change your interests you first selected when creating your account. So if your still seeing a lot of cats & dogs pictures. You can finally un-select that option.

As for chats. That is set to only receive chats from ongoing conversations for me. So don't think I will be using the react feature much.

Also on android, had to search for the update. It did not appear in apps needing to be updated!
