One year ago, on #LaborDay, we launched Data Workers' Inquiry. The process was messy and uncertain, but driven by the need to do research differently.

I wrote a reflection on what this first year taught us:

Thanks for reading and for supporting this work.

Do you want all your Facebook and Instagram photos, posts and data to be used by Meta to train AI?

If not, then *now* is the time to object.

This article explains how.

Meta starts AI training with personal data - those who want to object must act quickly (english version)
Meta AI will be trained from May with posts, photos and comments from Facebook and Instagram users
