Meta to Train AI Using Public European Social Media Data

European users can opt out of new AI training policy, while global users have no such option.

Meta will use public posts, comments, and photos from European users for AI training.
European users have until June 26 to opt out via notifications sent by Meta.
The policy has sparked legal complaints in 11 European countries over privacy concerns.
Meta claims compliance with EU laws, citing 'Legitimate Interests' as the legal basis.
Privacy advocates argue the policy should require opt-in consent rather than opt-out.
