If you're on Twitter/X, you may have noticed a sudden stream of high-profile accounts heading for the exits. And no, it's not (just) about the election.

This exodus is thanks to a new Terms of Service document, which takes effect on November 15. Although the company isn't talking about it, the new ToS gives owner Elon Musk the right to use your tweets, photos and videos to train his AI bot, Grok.

The option to opt out of Grok training, something users currently have, may still exist in your settings the following day. But it also may not matter, legally speaking. Nothing about opting out is mentioned in the document you are required to sign. And it doesn't appear to make a difference if your account is locked: So far as this ToS is concerned, Grok gets to feed on it anyway.

Oh yes, and following free speech is no longer free. You'll be on the hook for $15,000 in damages if your account accesses more than a million tweets a day. Not even the hardest of hardcore Twitter junkies will reach that number, but many researchers do. For anyone who tracks hate speech on X, this will have a chilling effect. The Knight Institute for the First Amendment at Columbia University calls it a "disturbing move" for a supposed free-speech advocate.

Disagree with anything in this document, or any other changes going forward? According to the ToS, your only legal recourse is to fight the world's richest man in one court in rural Texas, many miles from X HQ in Austin. This happens to be a court where a judge who may still own a pile of Tesla stock has already given Musk favorable rulings.

Don't want Elon Musk to feed your feed to his pet AI? There is, alas, only one way out of it now: delete your account.

This.

Also, if you are looking for a Xitter alternative, I know all the big names went to threads and Bluesky because they were associated with established big brands, but may I recommend Spoutible?

It isn't perfect, nowhere is, but it IS the one Twitter-replacement site I know of that a) has strong anti-hate (including pro-trans) policies, b) is heavily Democratic, and also c) has admins/ownership I trust not to willingly hand over anything P01135809's regime asks for.

Reminder that twitter is now an informal, unregulated (i.e. warrantless) information source for Trump administration use.

'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace'

so says Rachel Zegler, Snow White in the latest Disney cinematic remake. She goes on to say:

'There is a deep sickness in this country... shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy.  

'It is terrifying the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches.'

Zegler described the support for Trump as a 'foolish subscription to a false sense of security, masculinity, intelligence, patriotism and humanity.'

She then took aim at billionaire Elon Musk, who became one of Trump's most outspoken - and generous - donors throughout his campain.

'Get off of Elon's app,' she told her followers. 'I don't use that app for a reason. He helped get that man elected and you're giving him business.'

Her comments have now gone viral on Musk's social media app, X, as offended Trump voters vow to boycott the movie.

anyways max takes daniel home from the padel court and sits him down on his dick and slowly edges him the rest of the day until daniel's whimpering and sobbing and over sensitive and then horner calls in the middle because the car is on fire or something and max makes sure he's on loudspeaker while he makes daniel cry out max's name over and over again so that horner knows he's team daniel forever :)
