    Businesses & affiliated entities should REALLY reconsider using ANY #Meta product.

    By using WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook... they now automatically opt-in to their websites getting scraped, collected & used to train (likely) #MetaAI.

    It includes the creation of fake accounts (so called test credentials¹) to gain further access, to restricted data.

    Only options to opt-out:
    1) #DeMeta
    2) Robots.txt with:
    User-agent: FacebookBot
    Disallow: /
    User-agent: Meta-ExternalAgent
    Disallow: /
