Elon Musk’s platform, X, has rolled out updates to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, channeling legal disputes to a Texas court and allowing third parties to leverage user data for AI training. The details are found in X’s latest updates, permitting ‘third-party collaborators’ access to user information with an existing opt-out option. A critical shift in policy, scheduled for November 15, 2024, reflects a trend among tech firms aiming to boost revenue streams. X’s financial pressures are well-documented, largely stemming from brand-flight post-Musk’s infamous remarks to advertisers in 2023. Legislative choices also raise eyebrows with Texas’s Northern District as the new dispute resolution venue, sparking debates around ‘judge shopping’ for favorable court opinions. These developments echo a broader industry move toward monetizing data while navigating complex user privacy and legal landscapes.
