In this short video, Idalia Salsamendi alerts viewers that Instagram has updated its privacy policy to permit posts and photos to be used for AI-generated deepfakes. She then provides a concise, step‑by‑step tutorial on how to opt out of this new "Sharing and Reuse" feature. The instructions walk users through opening their profile, tapping the three‑bar menu, navigating to Settings & Activities, selecting "Sharing and Reuse," and toggling off the option labeled "Allow people to create with and reuse your content." She ends by directing viewers to the caption for additional details.

Instagram has just changed the privacy policy to allow your posts and photos to be used for AI deepfakes, and I'm going to teach you the only way that you can opt out. Go to your profile and click on the three bars at the top right, and you're going to scroll all the way down in Settings and Activities until you see Sharing and Reuse. You're going to click on that, and you're going to scroll a little way down until you see Allow people to create with and reuse your content. This is what you're going to toggle off. Now check caption to read more.
