tl;dr for those who don't want to open CNN:

X's new terms of service, effective November 15, 2024, now allow the platform to use public posts to train its AI models. Users' content can be collected and adapted for various uses, which has raised privacy concerns.

Is it only for public posts, or also private ones ?

I wouldn't post private information in a public area, but I happen to exchange adresses or account numbers in private messages, as I would do in emails. Not on X since I'm not on the platform, but any other one will do the same if not already done (e.g. Reddit).

I use private Twitter posts as a password manager, so this new development is very concerning to me.

... just kidding. There needs to be xkcd about something like this.

> public posts [...] privacy concerns

Someone please explain to me how someone would raise privacy concerns over things they've chosen to make public?

Thank you for your sacrifice. I have it blocked on a DNS level.
