Want to opt out of Instagram and Facebook scraping your personal data for its generative AI rubbish? *Here’s a playbook to foil Meta* June 26 deadline to opt out!! I just followed these extremely helpful prompts and it seemed to work:

11 steps to keep Meta from stealing your data to train AIdeborahcopaken.substack.com You only have until June 26, 2024 to say no to Meta taking your personal photos and words and using them to train their generative AI. Here are step-by-step directions for opting out.

Simpler solution, leave Facebook and Insta, delete the accounts and never look back.

Sure but photographers like me lack a viable alternative that the public uses

Well that's a bummer.

Your directions were perfect. I followed all your prompts and got it done! Thank you!

Seems complicated ( to me )

Yes it’s complicated by design, they don’t want you doing it and will try to ignore it

Anything complicated like this usually keeps me from doing it. If I try, it frustrates me to tears ....

Read thru this… any idea if there is a way to do it if you only have an Insta account and not FB? I’m not seeing the same steps lineup for insta. Thanks!

I opted out (hopefully) via Instagram and followed the prompts shared at the link, it’s pretty close but yes like you say you have to hunt a little to find the right spot in IG since the interface is slightly different, message me if you can’t find the privacy center thingy she’s talking about…

That’s very kind! Thank you. I will try again before troubling you.

I was wondering the same. When I initially tried via Instagram it just glitched out and wouldn’t let you submit.
