Meta-Ai: How to protect your data from access!

Meta-Ai: How to protect your data from access!

Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland - Meta plans to use publicly accessible content from Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp from May 27, 2025 for the training of its artificial intelligence (meta-Ai). This gives many users cause for concern about their data integrity. By May 26, 2025, those affected have the opportunity to object to this data usage, as [5min.at] (https://www.5min.at/5202505241944/meta-ki-s-schuetzt-du- daten/)

The objection to data use must be made using a form for which registration on Facebook or Instagram is required. However, it is not necessary to specify a reason for this. Users who submit their contradiction on time receive a confirmation email. It is interesting that the planned data for AI training not only affects future content, but also all previous public information on the platforms. In view of the long existence of Facebook and Instagram, the amount of potential data is significant.

options and uncertainties

A data record used for AI training can no longer be deleted or back, which further increases the concerns of the data protection player. The situation at WhatsApp is particularly critical. As the consumer center states, there is no way to object here, since the chat content is encrypted. Only messages that are sent directly to the Chatbot "Meta Ai" could be used for training purposes. As long as no data is sent to the chatbot, there is no access to the chat content for META.

users should be aware that META data protection instructions state that a contradiction once expressed does not have to be repeated if the accounts have been linked. However, every action is required individually for unmistaked accounts. Even if an objection has already been made, it is recommended to express it again for security, especially since there are no reports on rejected contradictions.

In the event of a rejection of the objection, several options are open to users. This includes deleting existing content, deleting your own accounts on Facebook and Instagram as well as filing a complaint with the data protection authority. Alternatively, legal steps against Meta can be considered. Users should also be active if, despite an objection, they occur on personal data that occur in AI generated content.

active measures for users

If you have no access to Facebook or Instagram, you can still object to the use of data. In addition, META offers the option of requesting data from third -party providers or canceling their use. In this context, it is important to note that filling out a form is necessary to access this data or to request or delete them. The specific “prompts” that led to generation of the content must be given.

The development and use of artificial intelligence raises numerous questions about data protection. The Baden-Württemberg Data Protection website also offers comprehensive information on the relevant legal bases and for viewing in personal data. Users should make informed decisions and act in good time to protect their data rights and prevent possible abuse.
