Facebook's AI training data description drops explicit mention of public and third-party sources

AI training: reworded

The Australian privacy policy's litigation section no longer lists public internet information, third-party content and information shared on Meta Products as training sources in these sentences. It now refers generically to 'training data' and says 'sources of training data listed above'. The statements that training data may include personal information and is not specifically linked to a Meta account remain.
