Sixt sent me a message encouraging me to check in early for my car rental. But to do so, I have to consent to a biometric face scan that their third-party contractor keeps on file. No thanks.

    Exactly. Blows my fucking mind.

    Tried to explain to my family how to opt out of Meta AI in WhatsApp and why it was a good idea.

    Wasted my time.

      It is so exhausting. I feel like an alien in this world. Like I am the only person I know that is aware or who gives a damn. It just blows my mind that people do not care

      How do you do that? I haven’t used it much since that came in, and you couldn’t opt out at the time.

      You can mute it but can’t get rid of it, as far as I know.

        I love how doing that, people can’t save media automatically (which I am fine with), export chat AND disable meta AI

        How about a fucking toggle “GO FUCK YOURSELF AI”???

        I don’t care about crappy meta AI, I don’t want that available but still be able to export my chat if needed (never did) and let others save automatically my media from our chat. TF is this bullshit? LOL

        You have to do it thread by thread. Tap on the chat group and look for “advanced privacy options”
