Coalition urges FTC to reject X's bid to weaken privacy order

An EFF-led coalition of over 15 groups is urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to deny X's request to terminate or weaken a 2022 privacy oversight order. The coalition argues that X has not met the legal standard for such a change, and that recent leadership shifts do not absolve the company of its obligations. Furthermore, they contend that X's increasing use of AI and data necessitates continued scrutiny, rather than reduced oversight. AI

IMPACT This action highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of how companies like X handle user data, particularly with the rise of AI, impacting future data usage policies.
