Comment on Meta uses your Facebook data for AI training, but opting out is a "review" game
TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 year agoAlthough the point is kind of moot - because of all the people who know you, that do willingly share their everything (including their phone contacts, photos etc), Facebook already has a You-shaped hole, even if you don’t have an account.
My favourite bit of the WhatsApp terms and conditions is where you agree that you have permission to share the information from your contacts. So, even if you go out of your way and tell WhatsApp you object to them using your data, someone else will supercede that when they accept WhatsApp’s terms.

Yeah, it’s hilarious :( I have no idea how that’s legal under GDPR. So that’s why I’m part of the small group of WhatsApp-resisting signal users in my country.
