TL;DR: We ALL gave Meta a broad-based license to use any content we post in almost any way they want when we created an account. The only way to deny Meta the use of your content is to delete (not deactivate) your accounts.

Guys, stop copying and pasting those boiler-plate “I don’t give permission for Meta/AI to use my content” statuses. They don’t do anything except give the original creator of that post all kinds of data about who reposts what.
