    Meta just added a feature to Instagram that allows any user to use your photo to create new AI images in your likeness. Such intrusions like this should be opt-in not opt-out. There is no other word for it: AI companies are bastards.

        Any user? Or any user who can see your photos?

        Like, what if you have a private account?

          I rarely use Facebook and I do not use Instagram, so there is barely anything for Meta to grab from me there.
          I use Google a lot, I checked and found that me "search history" is already set to "off," in fact I have all my history-related settings set to "off" except YouTube (because I really want to be able to see what videos I have watched before so I avoid rewatching the same thing again).

            Same as @axtremus here. No FB, no Instagram, and my Google settings are the same as Ax's, including the YT history.

                @Axtremus I have my Youtube history setting to off, but because I only watch videos from people I'm subscribed to (and similar videos from people I'm not subscribed to), I almost always click the 'like' button on as a courtesy to the creators and to help their stats. For that reason, Youtube knows pretty much my history because they automatically create a playlist called "Liked Videos" and if I were to delete it, Youtube would remove all of my "likes". Bastards.

                  @wtg Ditto. I have no accounts at any Meta apps. I checked, and my Google search history is also off.

                      @AdagioM Good.

                      “Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way. We’ve heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it’s no longer available.”

                      Liars. If they wanted to give people control, their default modus operandi would be "opt in". Bastards.
