The operator of the 'X' social media platform has given an undertaking to the High Court to temporarily cease processing the personal data of its European users to train any of its Artificial Intelligence systems.

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.

    Legally? No idea. What might be adequate protection in the country your instance is hosted, is probably unenforceable in another country where a federated instance might be.

    Technically, you could try by using your own, self hosted instance, and not federating with others, so they won’t be able to scrape your content as easily.

    But realistically speaking, your comments are possibly more likely to be scraped on Lemmy, since it’s so much more open for bots, and your content is replicated to much more servers, not all of which may have noble intents.
