Deviantart has already done this since the AI image hype train first started. Every picture by default is selected as material for AI training; pictures have to be manually deselected by the user to be excluded. And of course it's a nightmare for those with tons of art submissions.

Facebook/Instagram may end up having to something like that in the future but I doubt it until someone higher up does something about it.
