I read the article but did not see anywhere that it’s claimed people are ok with any of the names in the above list.
What gave you the impression that people were? Please cite the article.
Given that Twitter seemingly buries my tweets below the paying premium members, and the website can’t even load notifications for me, I haven’t posted a tweet reply or retweet in a very long time.
Moved on from twitter a long time ago. I am shocked anyone still uses a platform run by Musk.
Deactivated my X account this week. Still find myself reaching for it to connect with companies.
Why are you including Apple in this? We all know they stand apart with a stronger privacy-focused stance. Data may be mined, but it's anonymized first.
Exactly, while I would normally be against private emails and the like being used for AI training, tweets are public information.
surprised how many people don't get that.
Because “some people do it” isn’t as effective as “everyone does it” in justifying passive acceptance.
Your mistake is assuming everyone is coming from a place of gross ignorance. Do you really think people that are this upset that Musk ruined twitter are somehow the same people who were completely oblivious and perfectly fine with Facebook, Amazon and MS going all evil empire on them? Why must you resort to casting critics of Musk in a role of stupid supplicant to others? Is it in a self-interested effort to distract and dilute the perceived detriment of his actions, and why? Do you benefit in some tangible way, as a shareholder? How far will you go to avoid acknowledgeing that it was you who made the mistake of trusting and investing in a huckster? Or is it just diminishing dissent as the usual raw functionalist tactic of those who wish to convince themselves to sleep comfortably at night, secure in their tribal associations?
Everyone who cares knows not to trust the aforementioned with their personal data. This does not excuse Musk and his "worst of all possible worlds" approach to twitter from criticism, by any means. He has shown time and time again he is an unethical scumbag. If you are defending his actions, at this point you have far more to prove in the greater discussion than his detractors. Swing and a miss.

The setting mentioned can not be reached when an account is locked due to an ongoing dispute. Looking forward to this many court cases.
I’m thinking about creating an account just to feed garbage.
Is there any social network (with market share) that doesn’t consider user’s data not theirs?
Sad seeing how people get emotional. Initially Elon “Tony Stark” Musk was going to save the planet with its electric vehicles and saving humanity by sending everybody to Mars. If people complained about how lithium mining destroys the environment (and there’s not enough of it), or how colonizing Mars is ludicrous, you’re “climate denier” and want the world to end. Mainstream media saying he was the smartest person on the planet. Now he’s a Bond’s villain, lol.
He was forced to buy Twitter for 10X its value and now that censoring in posts or manipulation in trending list is over, people get upset. Imagine being in Japan and being bombarded with US politics. Now you see anime and cats. Try going to Reddit without seeing politics in 80% of trending topics.
There are topics that are ALWAYS going to be polemic: Abortion, age of consent (many countries in Europe are 14yo), voting age, gun control, immigration, death penalty, climate, taxation…
Half the country thinks different from the other. Now that ONE social network gives access (no censoring) to half the country, compared to 99% of the ones in California, people get triggered like they’re being forced to read what’s being posted there.
If you want to help people, open a company. Create something and hire people. Stay away from the internet with your complaining.

The info in your link is already dated. Also, what's up with your condescending toxic attitude.
Meta pulls plug on release of advanced AI model in EU
‘Unpredictable’ privacy regulations prompt Facebook owner to scrap regional plans for multimodal Llama
Meta has been ordered to stop training its AI models with posts from Facebook and Instagram users in the EU because of concerns it may violate privacy rules.
If you stop using X – problem solved.
Same with other services from Google, Microsoft/OpenAI, Apple. As soon as AI bubble explodes companies will start thinking about better ways to invest their money. How about tackling climate change, stopping wars, creating workplaces, curing diseases? In 70 years California will drown, together with all the “tech startups”. And if it won’t drown it will fry, because of killing hot summer weather. Either they fine tune their AI to solve real issues or they will be in the trashbin of history

Wait, which copyright are you talking about?
Twitter has always been a cesspool of useless 140-280 character “posts”. How can someone even copyright 💩posting.
Since Musk just came in and purchased it, he owns this thing. He owns everything and everyone (literally) on Twitter. In fact, he can set any rules he wants, especially to free users. And I think we should not blame him alone, Zuckerberg did it first. He purchased and ruined every product. Instagram now is not a photo sharing service but a useless marketplace, Facebook is boring, spying and slow, even WhatsApp is now filled with stories and stuff (who needs stories in VoIP client lol🤦♂️)
