"We aim to guarantee that Twitter adheres strictly to EU regulations, which, at the very least, mandate seeking user consent in this scenario," Schrems stated, referring to X by its former name. During the recent hearing, an Irish court determined that X had allowed users to object only several weeks into the data collection process. X did not respond promptly to a request for comment on Monday. The X Global Government Affairs account on Friday indicated that the company would maintain its collaboration with the DPC regarding AI matters. In June, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, declared that it would postpone the launch of its AI assistant in Europe following a directive from the Irish DPC to delay its plans. NOYB has filed complaints in multiple countries over the use of personal data for software training in this instance as well.
