#2tl;dr for those who don't want to open CNN:
X's new terms of service, effective November 15, 2024, now allow the platform to use public posts to train its AI models. Users' content can be collected and adapted for various uses, which has raised privacy concerns.

Is it only for public posts, or also private ones ?
I wouldn't post private information in a public area, but I happen to exchange adresses or account numbers in private messages, as I would do in emails. Not on X since I'm not on the platform, but any other one will do the same if not already done (e.g. Reddit).

I use private Twitter posts as a password manager, so this new development is very concerning to me.
... just kidding. There needs to be xkcd about something like this.

Same though I do wish there was a way to enforce copyright against the giant megacorps (specifically on training AI) that see everything on the Internet as just part of their profit making empire.
Though if I copied one of their things they'd bury me in court until I was either broke or dead.
