Does X train on your data?

X uses what you post, plus publicly available information, to train its machine learning and AI models. The only opt-out the policy describes governs third parties, not X.

How we read it: There is opt-out language in this capture, but it governs data shared with third-party recipients: it says that if you do not opt out, those recipients may use the information "to train their artificial intelligence models". That controls what others may do, not whether X trains on you. No control over X's own training is named anywhere in the document, and the remaining opt-out language covers marketing and state-privacy disclosures.

What the document does offer

  • "If you do not opt out, in some instances the recipients of the information may use it for their own independent purposes ... including, for example, to train their artificial intelligence models" — governs third-party recipients, not X
  • advertising and sponsored content "subject to your settings"
  • location sharing, autoplay and discoverability settings
  • access, correct or modify your information by editing your profile and account settings

Why none of it applies: The words "legitimate interest", "object to" and "right to object" appear zero times each in this capture, so there is no statutory route of the kind most policies here publish. The one opt-out that mentions AI training points outward: it decides what OTHER companies may do with data X shares, and leaves X's own clause untouched. Everything else is advertising, location and visibility.

How to opt out of X AI training

Plan by plan, from what X's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.
