Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to bring you some interesting news about our favorite social media platform, X. So, let’s dive right into it!
Recently, X has made some changes to its terms of service that you need to know about. Starting from September 29th, X wants us to forget all about Twitter and embrace the new era of X. They even went as far as replacing the word “tweet” with “repost” in their terms, officially bidding farewell to the beloved term.
But that’s not all, folks! X is taking its rebranding mission seriously. In the new terms, they have almost completely eliminated the word “Twitter” and replaced it with X. It’s quite amusing, though, that some of the URLs still contain “twitter,” like this one: developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites. It seems like X is not quite ready to let go of Twitter just yet.
Speaking of changes, X has also removed any references to Periscope, their live streaming app that bid us farewell in 2021. It’s all about moving forward and focusing on what’s ahead.
Now, let’s talk about some updates to the terms themselves. One important change is that by using X, you waive your right to participate in any class action or representative action proceedings. It’s a legal move that X is making, and it’s worth noting.
Another significant change is their stance on scraping. The previous terms allowed crawling the services if done according to the robots.txt file but explicitly prohibited scraping without prior consent. Well, in the new terms, they make it crystal clear that crawling or scraping without their written consent is strictly prohibited. It seems like X owner Elon Musk has a strong dislike for scraping.
But wait, there’s more! X has a new privacy policy coming our way on September 29th. Brace yourselves for an expanded collection of data, including biometric data and employment history. X is all about knowing us better, it seems.
So, my friends, be prepared for these changes coming our way. As we bid farewell to “tweet” and embrace the era of “repost,” let’s see what the future holds for X. Stay tuned for more updates, and until next time, keep laughing and loving technology!
