Meta Faces Norwegian Complaint Over Plans to Train AI on User Images and Posts

Source: Time

“Meta Platforms Inc. was hit with a Norwegian complaint over its plans to use the images and posts of users on Facebook and Instagram to train artificial intelligence models. The process to opt-out breaches strict E.U. data protection rules and ‘has been made deliberately cumbersome by using deceptive design patterns and vague wording,’ the Norwegian Consumer Council said in a statement Thursday. Meta has faced complaints in Europe for allegedly failing to get proper consent before collecting user data in order to target the ads users see.” (06/13/24)
