How to stop Meta’s AI image generator from using your Instagram photos

Meta launched an AI image generation feature that allows users to create images using photos from public Instagram accounts, as long as a profile is public and the account holder is 18 or older. The feature raises consent concerns because users whose photos are used are not notified and have no idea their public content is being incorporated into AI-generated images by strangers. Experts argue that stronger privacy protections and greater transparency are needed as AI tools become increasingly integrated into social media platforms, and skepticism is heightened by Meta's previous privacy violations, including a substantial government fine and a major data breach scandal involving unauthorized access to millions of user accounts.
