Sorry @PaintedHorseArt , haven’t been online today till now! Glad you found it. They’ve got it well hidden, haven’t they? I do wonder though, with the way they automatically opt everyone in to begin with, does that mean they’ve already harvested the images you already have on your account before you’ve had a chance to opt out? It’s totally unethical.

I think it’s pretty much a given that they’ve harvested content shared before people opt-out. I’ve been sharing blogs and short stories online since 2009 and the white hot fury-and-indignation I felt when I realised Chat GPT et al had been trained using work I had no idea was being scanned by AI systems, and that Chat GPT et al are now being touted as replacement sources for the writing I do professionally for a network of people I began building back in 2009, has not really ebbed yet.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I have opted out of both of them. I genuinely believe there will be a much better variety of creatives if we stick to the human beings.

I just came across this (ironically on Instagram): really clear instructions on how to limit Meta advertising to you by preventing ‘ad partners’ from tracking your info and showing adverts: https://johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com/
(That is definitely the URL, it is indeed from late night TV host John Oliver.)
