The Norwegian Consumer Council claims that the opt-out process violates strict EU data protection laws, arguing that Meta employs deceptive design patterns and vague language to make opting out difficult.
Inger Lise Blyverket, head of the Norwegian Consumer Council, stated, 'We are urging the Data Protection Authority to assess the legality of Meta's practices and to ensure that the company is operating in compliance of the law.'
Meta's recent decision to use public social media content from Europe to train its AI models has led to complaints from various sources, including the European Center for Digital Rights and NOYB advocacy group.
Meta planned to align its data usage policies in Europe with those in other regions by employing content from platforms like Instagram and Facebook for training its AI models.
