Users of Facebook and Instagram are reporting that the opt-out feature to prevent AI training on their data is not working.
Meta assured users that it will honor their choice of opting out of AI training, but some users claim their requests are not being processed.
Meta, previously known as Facebook, had been training AI algorithms on Instagram content since 2018. Users in the EU were excluded, but recently the company started collecting user content from the EU and the UK.
The opt-out link provided by Meta is not working, leading to criticism from users and concerns about the company's commitment to user choice.
