X updates its privacy policy to allow third parties to train AI models with its data

X is revising its privacy policy, effective November 15, 2024, to permit sharing user data with third-party collaborators for AI training. This change could lead to external companies paying for data access, similar to arrangements seen on Reddit. Although users can opt out of data sharing, specific details on how to do so remain unclear. Additionally, X aims to enforce stricter penalties against data scrapers by imposing a hefty fee for accessing large volumes of tweets. This shift signals potential new revenue streams amid decreasing advertiser interest. Discover more about the implications of these changes.
