If you (like me) ignored Instagram's email abt AI at first bc you were fucking annoyed, let this be your reminder that you can send a request that your data may not be used for their AI in less than a minute. Click the link in the email and do it. You'll get the confirmation in just a minute.
on top of this, for people in the UK and Europe, if you can't do it in the way above:
- go to your account
- click the three horizontal lines in the top right
- scroll down to and click "about"
- click privacy policy
- there should be a box at the top talking about updating their privacy policy, click the link that says "right to reject"
it will take you to a form you need to fill out, the words I used for the required reason were as follows;
Copyright - Europe's strict GDPR privacy laws mean Meta is obliged to honor all requests, regardless of reason.
reblog this if you can. protect your privacy, it matters.
I've been going through every page related to Privacy Policy and can't find anything, so I ran a search and discovered this gem:
turns out that In the USA, you can only opt out by setting your account to private
for Meta users in the USA, there isn’t a way to stop Meta AI from learning from your public social media posts, as there are no privacy laws specific to this
“While we don’t currently have an opt-out feature, we’ve built in-platform tools that allow people to delete their personal information from chats with Meta A.I. across our apps,” Meta said in a statement
those using Meta apps within the European Union, Britain, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland were notified that they could opt out, according to Meta, but others are out of luck

how much fun are we having in this timeline folks?
Time to download and run all your works through Nightshade before posting them anywhere. Poison the data sets.
Reminder to artists, webglaze is also developed by the same ppl as nightshade, and it's very useful too!
GLAZE ALL YOUR ARTS BEFORE YOU POST THEM ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET

Anonymous asked:
Hi Zoey. Asking from a place of ignorance, could you please explain why Threads is dogshit?
Threads is the Hot New Garbagedump by Certified Scum Of The Earth and Facebook/Meta owner Zuckerburg. It is like if twitter was even worse.
There is ONLY a For You page, meaning you can never just see the posts from your followed accounts who, yknow, you followed for the purpose of seeing their posts.You can't see those. you have to see the algorithm's posts ONLY. You also require an instagram to get full access to all the features like Posting Images. You need a separate social media account to properly access this new social media. And once you've done so, the only way to delete your Threads account, is to delete you instagram account. The Whole Thing. For Some Fucking Reason. Not to mention, obviously since it's zuckerburg, the thing syphons your personal information like crazy, worse still than twitter.
Like ALL your data. as much as it can get. (Love that it says "Other Data" btw. Nice subtle way of saying "whatever else we want")
It is as predatory and exploitative as can be, created by someone that we collectively agreed Sucks Shit and Has No Empathy For Human Life and Individuality, and nobody should be touching it with a ten foot pole let alone sign up for it. Not even to test the waters or because it's where everyone is heading, or to see how bad it is for yourself. It doesn't matter if you're joining to get an account ready in case the platform ends up the new big thing. You're feeding the statistics. Even if you're not using that account, Zuckerburg can show the number of signups to shareholders and investors to prove to them that it's viable. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in case it succeeds, inform people why they shouldn't join, to reduce its chance of success! It's like strikes and protests; The more of us get the word out, the more effective it'll be!

ok enough is enough. whichever one of you virgins invented instagram starbucks recipes, die 1000 deaths. I had a customer come in today holding out their phone (full brightness) and looking all shy and Im immediately like 🙄 fine ok, what does the instagram user want me to make for them this time. well this time it's a cringe harry potter themed frappucino. excuse me??? "can you make this for me?" I said excuse me??? -- I mean *customer service voice* "yeah it looks like I have all the ingredients, haha sure!"
ok cringe instagram harry potter frappucino drinker. ok. die. "Ive never had this drink before" yeah I can tell due to the fact that it didnt exist until someone posted a #aesthetic photo of it to instagram 14 hours ago ok. ok,
but whatever, Im paid to put up with this shit. so I add the ingredients all up on my computer and congrats! ur harry potter cringe social media drink has $10 worth of syrup in it. are you happy??? is this what you wanted??? a $10 frappucino??? $10. for a drink. you doubled the price of this drink for ur off-brand "harry potter and the legend of the overpriced starbucks drink" drink. you doubled the price!!! is this how u imagined spending ur day? is this what u wanted to do when u woke up this morning? $10 for a 24oz drink?
and u know, you KNOW the influencer making this recipe doesn't even work at a starbucks cause when it was all said and done the drink looked like shit. my blender was straining against the weight of your sins (and syrups) and Im sweating, Im an animal, Im losing my mind and my blender is getting watered down frappucino syrups everywhere -- u put so much shit liquid in this blender it doesnt even fit in the cup btw. it's making a huge mess. but is it instagramable? no, its fucking ugly. #trending #foryoupage #cringe $10 harold potter drink for adult children,

A Nebraska teenager is facing criminal charges alleging she aborted a fetus in violation of state law, after authorities obtained her Facebook messages using a search warrant. Seventeen-year-old Celeste Burgess, who is being tried as an adult along with her mother Jessica Burgess, is awaiting trial in Madison County District Court on charges that they broke a Nebraska law banning abortions after 20 weeks.
This marks one of the first instances of a person’s Facebook activity being used to incriminate her in a state where abortion access is restricted — a scenario that has remained largely hypothetical in the weeks following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Nebraska currently outlaws abortions beyond 20 weeks. On Monday, Republican lawmakers in the state failed to secure enough votes to decrease that window to 12 weeks.
[...] Still, Meta has remained largely silent on how it will moderate abortion content in general. However, users recently noticed that Instagram and Facebook posts about acquiring abortion pills such as mifepristone were being systematically removed. At the same time, Meta continued to earn revenue from anti-abortion advertisements containing dangerous misinformation,Media Matters found. An investigation by the Markup discovered that Facebook was collecting data from users interacting with abortion services websites, and subsequently made that information available to anti-abortion groups.
PSA: never trust a corporation with your personal information, and never trust them to protect your privacy rights
especially don't trust Facebook now that they've shown their bootlicker ass
If you value your privacy and your freedom, close your facebook account and delete the app.
seriously, their app is pure spyware. delete the app. if you don't like how it works in a browser, don't use Facebook or Instagram at all
and never send sensitive information through for-profit corporate servers. if you read their 10,000-page user agreements, you'll find they claim ownership of all information that passes through their hands. only (sort of) trust services that make a point of protecting your privacy
and that is unequivocally NOT "Meta" aka Facebook, Instagram, the Metaverse, or their other properties
That's it, that's the scene, the best reason to watch this show

Facebook PSA
Hey all, a little Social Media PSA if you have the Facebook App on your phone.
With the last update, Facebook began tracking something called ‘off-Facebook Activity’ which keeps up with all apps and browsing you do off of Facebook and collects that information with the purpose of targeting ads… which means they’re selling it to ad agencies. This includes access to any banking apps on your phone and your spending habits.
Not only is this a major breech of privacy that Facebook didn’t have to tell us about when they updated the app, it’s, of course, automatically turned on.
To turn it off, go into your Facebook app, pull up the menu from the main screen [the button with the three horizontal lines] scroll down to security and privacy, find ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ and hit the button that lets you manage your history to see all the apps it’s been collecting from. From there, you can clear the information it’s already collected, and there will be a button regarding ‘Future activity’ where you can turn the ‘feature’ off, at which point Facebook with give you an ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT US COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION TO SELL YOU THINGS???’ screen. Yes, yes you are sure. Because this is disgusting.
Facebook made this super hard to find, so I’ve written up instructions for how I got through it (on my app - I don’t know if there are other versions where it’s different):
From Facebook, go to the Menu by clicking on the three horizontal lines on the top right of the screen.
Scroll down to the bottom and select the Settings & Privacy drop-down menu.
Then select Settings (the first option under the drop-down).
This will take you to a screen showing multiple headers with lists of links under them
Scroll down to Your Facebook Information and select Off-Facebook Activity.
The next page has a short explanation of Off-Facebook Activity. Click Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity after the What You Can Do header.
This will take you to a screen with an option to Clear History (which I recommend). To actually turn off this feature, you will have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select the Manage Future Activity option that pops up.
This will take you to a page explaining in more detail what they’re doing. Select the Manage Future Activity at the bottom of the page.
THEN you can finally select the toggle to turn off Future Off-Facebook Activity.
If it’s glowing blue with the circle on the right side, it’s active, and if it’s gray with the circle on the left side, it’s off.
Just went and checked this out and yikes on a stick
Yuck. I just did this.
I don’t use facebook (and continue to be glad for this ever day), but for all the folks who do I’m spreading this.
and remember Facebook owns Instagram, too, so lock down those settings as well

instagram be like: get a nose job, hoe out, do some squats, lose weight, buy skinny tea, buy fenty beauty, buy a kylie lip kit, get your summer body, get engaged, get pregnant, lose the baby weight, dedicate yourself to sex and beauty and men and makeup and your man, shave your eyebrows off then draw them back on-
right pals i cannot stress this enough: unfollow celebs. unfollow influencers. follow artists. follow painters. follow people who plant flowers in pavement cracks. follow bopo activists with similar body types to yours. follow your favourite restaurants and cafes to check out what they've added to their menus. follow comedians. follow accounts that post positive memes. follow cute dogs and cats and hedgehogs. follow tattoo artists. follow shops that make ethical clothes. follow people who paint murals on the walls of buildings. follow environmental and lgbt+ and blm charities. follow authors. follow poets. follow second hand book shops. follow bakers. follow film reviewers. follow tags for countries and cities you'd like to travel to and your favourite books. then like the hell out of all those posts so that's what your explore feed starts showing you. instagram can be so much more than we've let it become. it's a platform for photos and there are far more things out there to see than "perfect" (photoshopped) bodies
