Reddit vs X (Twitter)

X (Twitter)'s policy answers the question and is graded F. Reddit's doesn't say either way. That's a finding about the document, not a worse grade.

Grades read the plan most people are on. Each company's full entry has every plan, every clause and the archived copy it was read from.

Reddit's privacy policy names OpenAI's ChatGPT, and says third parties pay licensing fees for bulk content. It never once uses the word "train".

Verdict

By default: The policy does not say
The way out: Nothing to opt out of on the record
Last checked: 30 Aug 2026

X (Twitter)

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.

Verdict

By default: Trains on you by default
The way out: No opt-out in the policy
What F means: On by default, with no way out on the plan you are on — and nothing short of reading the terms would have told you.
