Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, **Robert Loft **and Haley Hanson dive into X’s (formerly Twitter) latest privacy policy update, which allows third-party companies to use user data to train AI models — unless you opt out. We explore what this means for users, the potential revenue streams for X, and why Elon Musk’s data-sharing decisions are sparking privacy concerns, including investigations by the EU. With the new policy kicking in on November 15, we discuss the growing trend of platforms licensing user data to AI companies and what it means for the future of privacy and tech.
