Should You Delete X? Millions Of Users Just Got A New Reason To Quit

People are quitting X, formerly Twitter, in droves, citing toxic rhetoric and the platform’s new terms of service as reasons for deleting the social media platform. One major reason people are deleting X is because the Elon Musk-owned platform’s new terms of service, effective Friday, Nov. 15, are bad for users’ privacy. These state that all users must agree to let their posts be trained by artificial intelligence, including X’s own service, Grok. It was previously possible to opt out from this.
