Meta is about to make your chats with its AI assistant part of its advertising machine, the company announced Wednesday. Beginning December 16, conversations with Meta AI — the company’s chatbot embedded across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and even its new Ray-Ban Display smart glasses — will be used to determine which ads and recommendations show up in your feed.
The company will start formally notifying users of the change on October 7. There’s no opt-out: If you don’t want your chatbot conversations influencing your ads, the only option is not to use Meta AI at all.
the only option is not to use Meta AI at all.
“Meta AI, how do I opt out of you using our conversations to track me for advertising?”
Yes you can opt out. I opted out during the Pandemic. Now exclusively using non-corporate, open source social media.

I’ve found it very easy to opt out of Meta chat bot conversations.
the illusion of privacy. wat.
there wasnt an illusion of privacy 20 fucking years ago.
i’ve read articles printed on physical paper how three letter agencies provided funding to then upcoming social media sites.
i remember how fucking upset i was that everybody was just downloading shitty facebook apps while giving them full access to their contacts when smartphones took off. it didnt took a genius to connect the dots. they built a pretty accurate shadow profile of me by just tracking who had my fucking number. Even if i never had touched facebook products with a ten foot pole.
this makes me legit so fucking angry. complete brainrot. like i’m happy there are still articles beeing made which hint at the privacy nightmare we live in. but as a society we should be so much further. these are known issues for fucking decades now.

and you can’t opt out
I would simply not visit any website or download any App designed and supported by Meta.
Who could possibly have seen this coming?!
