    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Elon Musk-owned X, formerly Twitter, has updated its terms of service to prohibit scraping and crawling — likely to fend off any AI models training on its data.

    At that time, Musk had said that it was a temporary measure because the site was getting “data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users.”

    In April, he threatened to sue Microsoft for illegally using the social network’s data to train AI models In July, he filed a scraping lawsuit against unknown companies.

    Earlier this month, X changed its privacy policy to state it might use public data to train AI models.

    Musk has previously noted during a Twitter space that xAI, a company founded in July, would use public data such as tweets to train its models.

    X’s new privacy policy also has provisions for the collection of biometric data of users along with education and job history.
