Meta, the company that is in charge of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, recently announced that it will update its privacy policy and will begin to use the content of its users to be able to train its Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As reported by the technology company, from June 26 of this year, photos, videos and descriptions of publications that have been shared on social networks will begin to be used.
The decision of the company headed by Mark Zuckerberg has caused several concerns, especially among those who are concerned about the privacy and protection of personal information. At the same time, alarm bells have gone off among artists who use these platforms to make their work visible.
Despite the reactions that their announcement has generated, Meta has offered the option to restrict photos and videos from being used to develop their AI. In each of the company’s social networks, the processes are different.
In the case of instagramusers should follow the following steps:
- Enter the application.
- Identify the three-bar menu, located on the right side of the screen.
- Scroll until you find the “Information” option and then “Privacy Policy.”
- Go down again until you select the option “Oppose treatment” and then “oppose”.
- Fill out the form explaining why Meta should not use the content for its AI.
With respect to Facebookthe process works as follows:
- Enter the platform.
- In the menu, you must find the “Settings” option and then “Privacy Policy”.
- Select “Right to Object.”
- Fill out the form required by Meta.
It should be noted that if people do not have an active profile on Meta platforms, but appear in other users’ content, their information will still be used.
