artists and creatives, please take a moment to read this ✍️ i recently submitted an objection to meta regarding the use of my information and public content to develop && improve its ai models, and instagram has officially confirmed that they will honour my objection! bc as an independent artist, i find this whole situation concerning. we post our illustrations, photographs, writing, and other creative work to share them with people, build our portfolios, find clients, and make a living. we spend years developing our skills and countless hours working on pieces that mean something to us and the thought that our work can be used to develop ai without our meaningful consent raises serious concerns about our rights as creators. if you're an artist, writer, photographer, illustrator, or any kind of creative who doesn't want your public content used for ai training, please check whether you can submit an objection, too. here's how to look for the option on instagram: 1. go to your instagram profile and open the menu in the upper-right corner. 2. look for the privacy centre. 3. find the information about how meta uses information for generative ai models and features. 4. look for the option to object to the use of your information and follow the instructions. 5. submit your request and keep the confirmation if it's accepted. you can also check meta's privacy centre through facebook. the available options may vary depending on your account and region??? so if you can't find the form, check the official help pages. if you have multiple accounts, check whether they're connected through the same accounts centre. in my case, instagram confirmed that my objection also covers the other accounts linked to the same accounts centre. separate, unlinked accounts may actually require separate requests.
