argument: Notizie/News - Personal Data Protection Law
According to multiple reports, social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has agreed to suspend its processing of personal data from European users for the purpose of training its AI model, known as "Grok." This decision follows legal action initiated by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), which expressed concerns over the platform's compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The data in question, collected between May 7, 2024, and August 1, 2024, included public posts from EU and EEA users. The DPC welcomed X's agreement to halt the data processing while investigations continue into whether these practices violated GDPR. This case highlights ongoing tensions between tech companies and European regulators over data privacy and the use of personal information in AI development. The suspension serves as a temporary measure as the DPC and other EU data protection authorities further assess the legality of X’s data practices under GDPR.
