Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Instagram users are worried about AI scraping their photos for Meta's AI systems, leading to posts claiming copyright over their content. Legal experts state these posts have no effect, as Meta's terms grant it a license to use user content. US users have limited privacy protections and cannot opt out, while European users can due to stricter laws. Options include setting accounts to private or deleting data with specific commands. The only surefire way to prevent content use in AI training is not to post it.
