NOYB has filed nine GDPR complaints alleging that X used EU users’ posts and interactions to train the Grok LLM without proper consent or legal basis, citing default opt-in settings and lack of transparency. Ireland’s DPC reached an agreement with X to pause processing until September, acknowledging training occurred from May 7 to August 1, 2024, while NOYB presses for a comprehensive probe into data handling, separation of EU data, and user consent practices.
