I have no inside information, but I always assume the tickboxes that "disable ____ data" from Google/Facebook/OpenAI just disconnects it from your own account, not hides it from the provider.
- Aurornis 21d agoThe checkbox has an actual statement associated with it about what it does. You don’t need to assume anything.
- chii 21d agoThere's no independent verification of what that checkbox actually does. The company can say anything, and you are unable to verify that they actually do it. The only verification you could do so far is GDPR-style data export, and also the adherence to GDPR regulations (and even those might get skirted if they aren't operating in europe).
