  Except the EU has already told them fuck off, or they will shut down their EU operations. Did they resolve that?

    Probably they don’t give a f*ck about it and once they can pay the resulting fine from the petty cash, they just won’t mind… 💩

      Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year’s global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They’d have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.

    People based in the EU who use our platforms can choose to object to their public data being used for training purposes.

    And last in the article it says it works with EU regulators to ensure its legal, basically.

    Also, they are only allowed to use post, comments etc from adults.

    So yeah, they probably scrape less data in EU. At least what they are telling.

      Maybe, but I won’t believe anything Meta says about their actions being legal until an EU court comments on it. I just know Meta has been in hot water with EU a few times for collecting data they shouldn’t.

      “For training purposes”, do you know how many other purposes they have? For research, for improvement, for genuine interests, for selling, for people who can’t read between the lines.

      #Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users!

      Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

      How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

      You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you’re logged in to and any accounts that you’ve added to the same Accounts Centre.

      Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don’t scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

      Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

  I was thinking, not on my data!

  But that’s probably where I’m wrong. Fuck facebook, go out of business!

  Convince your friends to leave, and tell them about Friendica as a way forward.
