Posting “Don’t use my data” on Facebook does not work at all.

How to Actually Stay Safe and Limit Meta’s Use of Your Data:

Lock Down Your Profile

• Settings → Privacy → Lock Profile (mobile app)

• Future posts visible only to Friends.

• Hide old posts from public view.

Control Who Can See and Download Your Photos

• Settings → Profile & Tagging → Turn on “Review posts you’re tagged in” and “Review tags”.

• Set Who can download your profile picture to Only Me (or enable Profile Picture Guard).

Turn Off Ad Tracking

• Settings → Ads → Ad Settings

  • Turn off “Data from Partners”

  • Turn off “Ads shown off of Facebook”

  • Remove all interest categories

Clear Off-Facebook Activity

• Settings → Off-Facebook Activity → Clear History → Turn off “Future Activity”.

• This stops Facebook from tracking you on other sites/apps.

Say No to AI Data Use

• In many countries, Meta now has an AI Data Use Opt-Out Form in Privacy Settings. Fill it out so your public content isn’t used to train AI models.

Limit Personal Info

• Remove sensitive info from your About section — birth year, phone, home address.

• Post less about your location, kids, or travel in real time.
