    It is illegal if you send a delete request.

    The question is here, if ‘delete account’ is the same as asking Meta to delete all data in the regard of GDPR. My guess is, its not.

    There’s also no way they will retrain their AI without your data, just because you told them to.

      Are you from the EU? We have an entirely different UI than the US. We get additional options. When you request to delete your account and all the data it gets deleted. I’m confident of that. The EU has given very expensive fines for much less than that.

        GDPR permits anonymizing data instead of deleting it, provided anonymization is irreversible. They’re keeping it one way or another. They don’t need to know who the data belongs to to feed it to an AI.

          It’s going to be really difficult to anonymize personal posts. FB and Instagram posts often include personal information. Feeding it to AI isn’t going to help as someone might find a way to reproduce it with queries and they get in trouble.
