This and the changes to blocking is a one-two punch that I've decided to finally delete my account. It's long overdue. I'll start posting more on Bluesky, but I'll pin this tweet give and give it a week for people to see it.

if you saw that notice about a Terms of Service update, this is the main clause it changed. it explicitly lets twitter use your posts and any attached media — including images, videos, and their audio — for the training of AI models like Grok. it will be in effect November 15.
