EFF Urges FTC to Reject X's Bid to Escape Privacy Oversight

X Corp. petitioned the FTC to set aside a 2022 consent decree requiring regular privacy compliance reports, arguing a new privacy program. EFF and allies oppose the petition, citing X's quiet use of user data to train its Grok AI and a 2025 data breach. The order, stemming from a 2011 settlement, binds the corporate entity regardless of leadership changes.
