Complaint against the use of personal data for undefined forms of machine learning or artificial intelligence models by Twitter

Recently, Twitter International (now re-branded as “X”) began unlawfully using the personal data of more than 60 million users in the EU/EEA to train its AI technologies (like “Grok”) without their consent. Unlike Meta (which recently also had to stop AI training in the EU), Twitter did not even inform its users in advance. This went too far even for the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC): last week, it launched court proceedings against Twitter to stop the illegal processing, but the Irish DPC seems to have stopped short of fully enforcing the GDPR. noyb now follows up with nine complaints in Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Poland (with Panoptykon’s support).
