The users of the targate apps are now a few days old to oppose the use of their personal data by the Menlo Park’s giant development team with the primary purpose of “educating” theartificial intelligence.
“Facebook and Instagram users, and non -users whose data can still be present on the two platforms because they are published by other users, have the right to oppose the processing of their personal data for training the AI of Halfusing the forms made available online by the company “In fact, it reminds everyone of the privacy guarantor. There is still some time to exercise this right, since the request form, present within the same apps, must be sent by the end of May.
In essence there is a tacit assentso if you do not oppose our personal information will be exploited by Meta to train and perfect its artificial intelligence. “This right, recognized by the GDPR – the European Regulation on the protection of personal data – can also be exercised against other IA systems, such as, for example those of Openai, Deepseek and Google”the Guarantor still points out. What does this mean in essence? Simply that the various types of data present in public posts of adult users of the apps owned by Meta, namely videos, photographs, comments or captions, as well as the information deriving from the use of the already accessible IA services, will be used to grow chatbots and linguistic models such as Llama.
Watch out, however, to act in time.“The opposition, if exercised by late Mayallows you to subtract all personal information from the artificial intelligence of the artificial intelligence “warns the guarantor, “While if exercised subsequently it will only affect the contents published subsequently and not those already online. In the event of non -opposition, Meta will use all the aforementioned data for training its artificial intelligence”.
As anticipated, for obvious reasons, the data of users minors They cannot be used by the Meta Development Team, even if this does not exclude that they can still enter the baggage of those stored if present in content published on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp by adult users of the apps.“In this case users and not minors and those who exercise parental responsibility on them”recommend the guarantor, “They should evaluate the opportunity to exercise the right of opposition by using the form reserved for non -users of Meta Services”.
All the European authorities in charge of supervising their citizens’ privacy are however stirring together to evaluate the goodness of the intentions of the goal and the lawfulness of this kind of intrusions: “The attention of the guarantees is aimed in particular for the legitimacy of these practices, the effectiveness of the right of opposition and the compatibility between the original purposes of the treatment and this
new use of data “reads still in the note, “The authorities also asked the goal of the use of images of users of less than eighteen years published by adult users.”
