X Faces Nine GDPR Complaints Across Europe
News summary

Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is facing nine privacy complaints in the European Union for allegedly using users' personal data to train its AI chatbot, Grok, without their consent. The complaints were filed by the Austrian non-profit noyb in nine countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Poland. X had quietly changed its settings to share user data with its AI startup xAI, leading to legal actions by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Though X halted the use of European data following the DPC’s intervention, noyb criticized this action as insufficient, arguing that the core legality of the data processing was not addressed. Noyb's founder, Max Schrems, emphasized the need for X to comply fully with EU laws, specifically the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which mandates user consent for data usage.
