AI News Update: Pre-ticked Consent Boxes Cause Trouble for X Platform
Key Points:
– Elon Musk’s X platform facing backlash from data regulators for using pre-ticked boxes to gain consent for data harvesting.
– Users automatically opt-in to have their posts used for AI systems without actively agreeing.
– UK and Irish data watchdogs have reached out to X regarding the violation of GDPR rules.
Final Thoughts:
It seems that even innovative platforms like X are not immune to the watchful eyes of data regulators. Using sneaky default settings to gain consent is a definite no-no in the world of data protection. Let’s hope X learns its lesson and updates its practices to comply with GDPR regulations, or they might end up facing serious consequences.

Prompt: In a Realism style, imagine a detailed painting illustrating a grand, vintage ship sailing the high seas. The ship is crewed by robotic pirates adorned in intricate metallic armor, with futuristic AI-controlled parrots perched on their shoulders. The scene captures the essence of the Golden Age of Pirates with a modern twist, showcasing the melding of advanced technology and historical piracy.
