Sad state of affairs indeed. #unlovedpizza

Seriously…and like most blessings I didn’t see it at the time but SO happy for the extra sleep #netflixglitches

Glad you’re here!!

According to the ToS, your only legal recourse is to fight the world's richest man in one court in rural Texas, many miles from X HQ in Austin. This happens to be a court where a judge who may still own a pile of Tesla stock has already given Musk favorable rulings.

For anyone who tracks hate speech on X, this will have a chilling effect. The Knight Institute for the First Amendment at Columbia University calls it a "disturbing move" for a supposed free-speech advocate. Disagree with anything in this document, or any other changes going forward?

Oh yes, and following free speech is no longer free. You'll be on the hook for $15,000 in damages if your account accesses more than a million tweets a day. Not even the hardest of hardcore Twitter junkies will reach that number, but many researchers do.

But it also may not matter, legally speaking. Nothing about opting out is mentioned in the document you are required to sign. And it doesn't appear to make a difference if your account is locked: So far as this ToS is concerned, Grok gets to feed on it anyway.

X isn't talking about it, the new ToS gives owner Musk the right to use your tweets, photos and videos to train his AI bot, Grok.The option to opt out of Grok training, something users currently have, may still exist in your settings the following day.
