Elon Musk-led X (formerly Twitter) recently updated its privacy policy. This update indicates that the social media platform will soon allow “third-party collaborators” to train their AI models on the posts shared by users on the platform.
Several users, including those in the Times of India tech team, received notification to accept the new terms and conditions. According to X, the new privacy policy will come into effect on November 15. Currently, X has an option that lets users stop data sharing with xAI’s Grok and “other business partners”, but the company says that these business partners use your data to “run and improve its products.”

Third-party content & integrations. We share or disclose your information with your consent or at your direction, such as when you authorize a third-party web client or application to access your account or when you direct us to share your feedback with a business. Similarly, to improve your experience, we work with third-party partners to display their video content on X or to allow cross-platform sharing. When you watch or otherwise interact with content from our video or cross-platform sharing partners, they may receive and process your personal information as described in their privacy policies. For video content, you can adjust your autoplay settings if you prefer that content not to play automatically.
Third-party collaborators . Depending on your settings, or if you decide to share your data, we may share or disclose your information with third parties. If you do not opt out, in some instances the recipients of the information may use it for their own independent purposes in addition to those stated in X’s Privacy Policy, including, for example, to train their artificial intelligence models, whether generative or otherwise.
X says that users will be able to opt out of the setting. Since the new privacy policy will come into effect next month, the platform is expected to add a toggle that lets you opt out.
