Meta has acknowledged that all text and photos that adult Facebook and Instagram users have publicly published since 2007 have been fed into its artificial intelligence models. Australia’s ABC News reports that Meta’s global privacy director, Melinda Claybaugh, initially rejected claims about user data from 2007 being leveraged for AI training during a local government inquiry about AI adoption before relenting after additional questioning.
Asked by The New York Times in June, Meta didn’t answer, other than to confirm that setting posts to anything besides “public” will prevent future scraping. That still won’t delete data that has already been collected — and people posting back in 2007 wouldn’t have known their photos and posts would be used in this way. Claybaugh said that Meta doesn’t scrape data from users who are under the age of 18.
