"For training purposes", do you know how many other purposes they have? For research, for improvement, for genuine interests, for selling, for people who can't read between the lines.

Yeah, but I think they are already allowed to do that, if you dont opt out. This is about AI training with data from their own platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Threads, where they werent allowed before.

They harvest your data to sell like they did yesterday. Nobody should be fooled by that.
