X, formerly known as Twitter, has updated its Terms of Service to allow data use for AI training. This guide provides a step-by-step process to opt out and prevent your data from being used to train X's AI system, Grok.
X, formerly known as Twitter, announced some changes to its Terms of Service effective November 15, 2024. Added to the terms was a new clause that sought users’ permission to analyse text and other information they provide in order to improve the services. This includes using such data to train X’s machine learning and artificial intelligence system called Grok. What this means is that once you agree to this updated terms of service, you give X the right to use your private data to train its AI. In this guide, we'll show you how to stop AI from training with your personal data.
💡 Pro tip: If you have not agreed to the new terms of service, then this does not apply to you.
