X to pause using European user data to train AI systems (www.rte.ie)

X are being sued by the Irish data regulator for breaching the GDPR in processing European citizens' data for Grok AI without an initial opt-out.

The pause is a temporary measure until they return to the Irish High Court.

It finally feels like these data vampires are being tackled even if the pace is a crawl.

How magnanimous of them. Also I don’t believe them.

There's no reason for them to keep defying the court. It could make the ruling worse for them and GDPR fines are hefty to begin with. They can't possibly hope to gain anything of equivalent or greater value to the fine from a bit more data.
