"Goodbye Meta AI" trend falsely claims users can opt out of Meta's privacy policy changes.

The "Goodbye Meta AI" trend on Instagram falsely claims users can opt out of Meta's privacy policy changes by sharing a specific statement. This viral message, endorsed by celebrities, holds no legal weight and does not affect Meta's data usage practices. Meta clarifies it uses public posts for AI training while excluding private content and under-18 materials. In Europe, users can formally object through their account settings, but the trend misrepresents this process.
