X (formerly Twitter) has introduced a significant change to its Terms of Service, allowing the platform to share user data with third-party companies for AI training purposes. Set to take effect on November 15, this change is part of a larger trend in the tech world, where companies like X are shifting toward licensing user data to AI firms.
The platform has given users the option to opt out, but many are unsure of how much of their data could be exposed if they don’t take action.
This move could help artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT and Gemini improve their performance, but it also signifies a new way for social media companies to generate revenue.
The process for opting out of X’s data-sharing policy has been criticized for lacking transparency, leaving many users frustrated.
