Privacy advocates and 15 organizations have urged the FTC to reject X's petition to terminate the agency's oversight order, warning that Elon Musk's platform poses a "serious risk to Americans' privacy." X had argued the order was unnecessary due to the company's rebrand and restructuring, and that GDPR compliance made FTC audits redundant. Advocates countered that X's data practices — including training its Grok AI on user posts without meaningful consent, a major data breach, and ongoing privacy controversies — demonstrate the need for *greater* FTC scrutiny, not less.
