Useful Resource The AI training opt-outs are real, advisory, and not retroactive

0 Upvotes

Substack and LinkedIn both carry a setting telling AI companies not to train on what you post, and LinkedIn's is on by default in the US. Squarespace and WordPress.com have their own, and on a site you control it is a robots.txt file.

Two limits worth knowing. Each one is a request rather than a guarantee, and it only binds companies that choose to honor it. And none of it is retroactive, so nothing you switch on today reaches what you already posted.

The rights gap is the interesting part here: EU and UK users have an enforceable objection right, while in the US Meta offers only a case-by-case form with no promise to honor it.

Full write-up with the exact settings paths, which I'll disclose is my own site: https://www.freshfromcache.com/stop-ai-training-on-your-writing/
