Eu Elon Musk X

Elon Musk's X will not be designated as a gatekeeper under landmark EU tech rules known as the Digital Markets Act which would have subjected it to an onerous list of obligations, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

X, the microblogging platform owned by Elon Musk, is said to be unlikely to be affected by the EU's significant tech regulations — the Digital Markets Act — designed to curb the influence of Big Tech, as it does not fulfil the criteria for gatekeepers

Following the notification, X agreed to temporarily suspend the use of the data to train Grok - a commitment that became permanent on Wednesday

An advocacy group from Austria, NOYB, has expressed issues with Elon Musk's X for training its Artificial Intelligence (AI) bot Grok with the personal data of users without their consent. NOYB is led by privacy activist Max Schrems.

The EU's top digital official wrote to Elon Musk Monday to remind him of his legal duty to stop "harmful content" from spreading on X, hours before the tech billionaire interviews Donald Trump live on the platform.

Elon Musk-owned X has said it allows all users to decide if their public posts can be used by the platform's artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok. To do so users have to untick a box in their privacy settings to opt out.
