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.

But when you reduce it to a nazi echochamber, don't you feel at least a teensy sense of irony?
