🚨Starting Dec 16th, Meta AI will read your private messages - unless you opt out now! 🚨

Opting out is hilariously complex, but we've got you covered:

1. Go to Meta Privacy Center on DESKTOP
2. Privacy Policy
3. Other Policies and articles
4. How Meta uses information for generative AI model and features
5. Your right to object
6. Learn more and submit requests here
7. Tick: I want to object to or restrict...

Oh, and @noybeu is already on it: tuta.com/blog/noyb-meta-ai-is-… 🍿

Meta will use your data to train Meta AI – but it could be illegal! | Tuta

Austrian NGO NOYB challenges Meta yet again and sends a cease-and-desist letter to stop the Big Tech from abusing your data.

How to turn off Meta AI in WhatsApp? You can’t, but... | Tuta

Noticed an AI assistant is now in your WhatsApp? Meta’s AI feature is now being rolled out in the EU and you can’t turn it off – but you can stop the AI invasion by opting for privacy-focused alternatives.

So they're not even pretending they can't read WhatsApp messages?

You forgot #DeltaChat, which is an excellent alternative to WhatsApp.

So the only thing we should do is to boycott WhatsApp and switch to XMPP, @matrix or @delta .

... and if you do all that, they'll just refuse your request anyway.

thanks for the heads up. Here's how to do it on mobile:

- Navigate to Privacy Centre. On Facebook this will be under "settings and privacy". On Instagram this will be under "settings and activity"->"more info and support".

- In the privacy centre, search for "more detailed information about meta's generative AI models" and select it.

- Scroll down to "Your right to object", open and click "Learn more and submit requests here" which open the objection form.

- Do note that this form asks for yet more personal information about you, rather than just linking your objection with your account :/

Great instructions! Gonna get to it right now... oh... wait... I didn't ever use or get dependent on any of "those services" in the first place. I'm such a lucky bastard.

This only tells them you don’t want them to read your private messages. It is not a technical solution that prevents them from reading them.

Care to specify where in their announcement they state that they’re going to start using PRIVATE messages to train AI (effectively breaking end-to-end encryption)?

Because from what I can read on your own blog post and on their announcement post is that they’re going to use PUBLIC data and interactions with Meta AI..

I don't use Meta, but this looks like the location of the plans for the demolition of Arthur Dent's house, "..on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

You may want to clarify these instructions only work in the EU (GDPR) and possibly the UK. There is no right to object in the U.S. version of the site since the country has no national data privacy law.

It gets even more ridiculous! They request that you provide them with *evidence* "..about whether an AI at Meta model has knowledge of you."

This is pure mockery!

Maybe going to

short-circuits some of those steps?

Meta has been reading everything since 2015. If you have a Meta app on your phone, they started their straight spyware with FB Messenger.

Nice - your right to object isn't an option in Canada. Plonkers.
