All your personal information
Meta recently published a page detailing how Llama, its IA tool, will improve by automatically using your data: all the photos and shared videos, the messages posted on your profiles or the comments left on the publications of other accounts. “Information to which everyone has online access and licensed information”, but also “public information such as publications and public comments shared on META products”.
It can therefore be your vacation photographs, your family memories, birth announcements, marriage, divorce or professional information … The American company has a need for these millions of personal data to test, refine, and optimize its Meta AI tool.
Opposition facile et simple
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), each user has the right to oppose this approach before May 27. After this date, the company will consider that Facebook and Instagram users who have not expressed their refusal agreed to this use.
First, these measures concern accounts belonging to users over 18 years of age. Public data from Instagram adolescent accounts will not be used to train LLAMA. For now.
For Facebook
On the Facebook application, the link is accessible by clicking on your profile (at the top or bottom right of the home screen). A menu opens in which you will find the “confidentiality parameters”, then the “confidentiality center”. The link to “opposing” is in the second paragraph.
For Instagram
Same approach on Instagram by clicking on the three small points at the top of your profile. In the parameters, you must descend to “more info and assistance> confidentiality center”, then click on “oppose” to the second paragraph. Finally, you will need to provide the email address to which your Facebook and Instagram account is connected. After sending the form, an email will be sent to you to confirm your request and take it into account by Meta.
For WhatsApp
On WhatsApp messaging, the process is carried out via this online form in which you will specify your e-mail address as well as the telephone number to use this application.
