The social media platform formerly known as Twitter and now called X is no longer just tweets and likes. According to the updated privacy policy, X plans to collect users’ biometric, employment and education data. owner Elon Musk says why you need to train AI models.

X seems to have long-term plans for new apps and integrations

But don’t worry about your private messages. Musk confirmed that only publicly available information will be used. But the question remains: Why does X need this data? Always ambitious, Musk recently founded xAI, an artificial intelligence company that aims to unravel the mysteries of the universe. So it seems likely that your personal data will use this grand vision.

Another angle? Musk talked about making the X a “cool” alternative to LinkedIn, which he called “chills”. With the new policy, the collection of employment and education data becomes meaningful for this purpose.

Of course X can only sell data; They don’t make money from advertising. However, there is no evidence to support this. Unlike Twitter, which uses the data for its own development, X seems to have bigger plans.
