Meta AI Uses Chats, Not Private DMs

ADVICE

Limit What AI And Search Can Learn About You

  • Use Firefox Focus or incognito when searching sensitive topics to limit tracking by big platforms.
  • Turn off "we can train on your data" in AI tool settings to avoid contributing personal data to model training.
