Facebook AI training passage reworded; third-party content providers no longer listed as a source

AI training: reworded✓ Machine-checked

The AI training passage in Facebook's privacy policy was reworded into a list of training sources: information available on the internet, and information shared on Meta Products. The old text already named posts, photos and captions and your interactions with AI features as sources. The visible change is that the separate mention of information from third parties that provide content was dropped, and the wording on personal information in training data was generalized.
