X is being taken to court in Ireland for using Europeans ’ data to train AI models.

The Irish Data Protection Commission is suing X under Ireland ’s 2018 Data Protection Act.

The DPC is seeking an injunction against Twitter International over concerns about the processing of user data for AI model training.

X did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the legal action.

The EU said it suspects X of breaching these rules in relation to the misleading design of its blue check system, and failing to meet transparency requirements related to data access for researchers and the effectiveness of an ad archive it is required to provide. The EU is also investigating a second DSA case against X, open since December 2023 , concerning wide-ranging content moderation and risk mitigation issues..
