The updated privacy policy now explicitly states that your interactions with AI will be used to improve AI at Meta, and requires agreement to Meta's AI terms as a condition of service use.

You can review the updated AI terms and privacy sections before continuing to use Threads, though the policy does not describe an opt-out mechanism for AI interaction data use.
