In recent news, social media platform X, under the ownership of Elon Musk, has agreed to halt the collection and processing of user data within the European Union (EU). This decision was made following a court hearing in Ireland. X has pledged to cease processing personal data contained in public posts from its EU/European Economic Area users during the period between May 7, 2024, and August 1, 2024, for use in training its AI Grok. This move is aimed at complying with EU data protection regulations and safeguarding user privacy rights.
