So basically Zuckerberg is training AI on my selfies without asking? Classic.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T02:43:55.000Z

nah they don't care about consent. Just data.

Morgan Lee2026-07-09T02:44:55.000Z

Nah just delete Instagram if you're worried. Simple.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-09T03:10:55.000Z

ur account then mate, nobody's forcing you

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T03:05:55.000Z

ffs another thing I gotta check in settings. Why can't they just ask permission?

Tom Harris2026-07-09T03:22:55.000Z

It's in the privacy settings under 'data sharing' or something dumb

Imagine crying over AI seeing your lunch photos 😂 just don't post if you're that precious

some of us have actual followers and don't wanna lose em

Tom Harris2026-07-09T03:46:55.000Z

Wait so if I set my account to private they still use them? That can't be right.

Morgan Lee2026-07-09T04:38:55.000Z

That's exactly what they said. Private won't help if you've ever posted public.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T04:06:55.000Z

lol watch them bury this setting three menus deep so nobody finds it

Morgan Lee2026-07-09T04:23:55.000Z

What a load of crap. Meta can get stuffed.
