Meta's AI Data Deletion Form Called Ineffective by Artists

Artists say Meta's AI data deletion request process is ineffective PR, not a true opt-out. Many artists have received boilerplate rejection letters.

Meta says the form just allows people to request data removal, not demand it. Meta has not disclosed what data it uses to train AI.

To provide evidence, people must figure out what prompts elicit responses containing their data - but Meta won't say what data it has.

No one located has successfully deleted data via the form. Meta did not provide numbers on how many requests it has fulfilled.

The form provides little control over AI data use. Meta says it has no plans for a real opt-out program.
