Nobody likes the idea of what major social media companies do with their information but as trends like "Goodbye Meta AI" suggest, people are even more worried about what AI scrapers, specifically, are doing with their data. Proposed changes by the UK government and Elon Musk's X, like Meta before them, could end up being pretty tedious to opt out of, if not downright obfuscated.
Starting with X, as spotted by Tech Crunch, a recent change made to the privacy policy of the social media site says it may share your data with third parties. If you don't opt out of this data sharing, it can be used to train AI models, "whether generative or otherwise". You can opt out of this by going into 'Settings', then 'Data Sharing and Personalization', and then turning off data sharing.
