The operator of the 'X' social media platform has given an undertaking to the High Court to temporarily cease processing the personal data of its European users to train any of its Artificial Intelligence systems.

X are being sued by the Irish data regulator for breaching the GDPR in processing European citizens’ data for Grok AI without an initial opt-out.

The pause is a temporary measure until they return to the Irish High Court.

It finally feels like these data vampires are being tackled even if the pace is a crawl.
