X to Sell User Data for AI Model Training
A new section has been added to the updated policy of a popular social media platform, titled “third party business partners.” According to the policy, users’ information may be shared with third parties depending on their settings or if they choose to share their data.
If users do not opt out of sharing, recipients of the information may use it for their own purposes, beyond those specified in the platform’s Privacy Policy. This could include using the data to train artificial intelligence models.
While users are said to have the option to disable sharing, it is not clear how to do so. The policy mentions a settings menu, but there does not seem to be a control to opt out of data sharing, as reported by TechCrunch. It is possible that this situation may change once the policy goes into effect next month.
The platform, referred to as X in the article, has not yet responded to inquiries regarding this new development. Users may want to stay informed and keep an eye out for any updates or changes in the platform’s policies regarding data sharing with third parties.
