X Corp. faces privacy risks; advocates urge FTC to maintain oversight

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Privacy advocates are urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to reject X Corp.'s request to terminate ongoing data handling audits. They argue that Elon Musk's X platform poses a significant risk to Americans' privacy, especially given its use of AI for training and tools. The advocates contend that X's rebranding and claims of compliance with EU regulations do not negate the need for continued FTC oversight following past data misuse incidents. AI

IMPACT Continued FTC oversight of X's data practices could influence how AI models are trained and deployed on user data.

RANK_REASON The article discusses a regulatory body's ongoing oversight of a platform's data handling practices, including its use of AI, rather than a new release or significant industry shift.
