X accused of using EU user data to train Grok without consent

Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) is taking Elon Musk's X to court.

According to Irish broadcaster RTE, the commission has launched High Court proceedings against Twitter International over concerns on how Europeans' public posts on X are being used to train the company's artificial intelligence tools. In July, X rolled out a change that automatically activated a setting for all users, allowing the website to use their public posts on the platform to train its AI chatbot further. Twitter International, X's Irish division, has also reportedly refused to stop processing users' data and to delay the launch of the next version of Grok as the commission had requested.
