Twitter's new privacy policy takes effect 09/29/23, giving them the right to use your posts & all of your data to train musk's "AI."

@Wolven i agree with your call to action. However will not every commercial other platform use their data for training AI models i am wondering. Also are data analytics "OK" then ?
