For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today
X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to:
AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their AI models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out.
PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything.
FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court.
ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process.
$15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin.
GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary.
ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their AI systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation. They added "prompt engineering or injection" to prohibited conduct.
ONE YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: Discover they harmed you after 366 days? You "forever waive the right" to pursue any claim.
MAXIMUM LIABILITY $100: They destroy your business, reputation, or life through negligence? Maximum recovery: one hundred dollars.
Free speech platform. Sure.
One thing you notice is when they’re not railroading poor people (usually minorities) who can’t afford a lawyer that often tons of evidence is inadmissible and illegally gathered
“I will not give birth to a life that will discriminate against my gender. My own flesh and blood must not become a blade and turn against me. If the world born from my body oppresses me I will not let that world exist.”
RESPECT for Korean Feminist Women!
slow violence is the point. not only does it cultivate apathy & fatigue, but it allows time for other lethal elements to intervene. they know they can't kill everyone, so they maim, freeze, starve, allow disease to fester, & psychologically torture the victims of genocide.
You cannot have a conversation with a system designed to eat you.
You cannot vote away a knee on your neck.
Colonialism was not installed with a ballot.
It was installed with the gun.
To think it will be removed with a polite request is insanity.
Y’all have been conditioned to over work yourself for a company/companies just to afford a place to stay that you don’t occupy 90% of the time. Our bodies and mind aren’t meant to be used this way. Not sure the answer to fix this but remember to live cause most are existing.
You're allowed to be in love with your younger coworker. She's allowed to be disgusted when you confess at the holiday party; she saw you as an NPC who assigns tasks, but now faces your pathetic desires. You're allowed to get a DUI on the way home. Those are all valid feelings.
If you are even mildly left leaning, Twitter has shifted the weights on your "For You" page to prioritize out-group hostility, supress in-group community, and focused on conflict. You'll see next to none of the community you built here, and that's on purpose.
