Part 2/6:
The Irish Data Protection Commission, tasked with overseeing digital privacy within the EU, has launched an investigation to determine if X is violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The inquiry centers on the potential mass collection of user data and the extent to which the platform has been transparent and obtained consent for such activities.
According to regulators, Grock has been trained using vast quantities of user-generated content from X, which, if confirmed as unauthorized, could lead to severe legal repercussions for the platform under GDPR. The regulations mandate that companies must clearly outline how they use personal information and secure permissions accordingly.
