One of the complaints noyb filed against Twitter (now re-branded as X) on the use of massive amounts of user data for undefined forms of "machine learning or artificial intelligence models", without proactively informing its users. Instead of asking users for their consent (opt-in), Twitter claims that it has a legitimate interest that overrides the fundamental right to data protection and privacy of European users. noyb asks the authorities to acknowledge the lack of legal basis and the violation of several provisions of the GDPR.
