Your Facebook and Instagram posts were used to train Meta's AI

• Meta is using social activity on Facebook and Instagram accounts to train its AI tools.
• Data from as far back as 2007 is used, including public posts, photos and messages.
• Users give Meta permission to use their public data this way when they agree to the platforms' terms of service.

In a new blog post, Facebook's parent company confirmed that it'll be restarting its great data-hoovering plans in the UK "over the coming months" after regulators inconveniently applied some brakes to the process back in June over privacy concerns.
