opt out controls

The opt out controls tag covers discussions about managing privacy settings across AI platforms and Windows 11. Threads highlight where to find opt-out controls for AI training data, voice and activity logs on services like ChatGPT, Google, Copilot, Alexa, and Siri. A recurring theme is that default settings often favor data collection, and turning off training does not delete previously stored data or stop third-party data brokers. On Windows 11, user backlash led Microsoft to prune some AI features, with community tools like debloat scripts offering additional opt-out controls. The tag focuses on practical steps for users to regain control over their data.
