From that point on, posts and photos from all users will be read by the AI to help train them and improve services such as the AI Creative Tool. Meta is currently providing information about this on Facebook. Private messages will not be affected, only public texts and images.

Meta emphasizes that every user has the “right to object.” We explain below how you can object to the use of your data.
