I just find it so sad…

For me, X has become a small paradise for fakes, scams, bots, and all the other junk nobody needs. (Small compared to Telegram or WhatsApp – I can’t say anything about Signal because I’ve never signed up there and never will.)

And what does X do? Instead of finally doing something real about this plague, they roll out new rules that take even more rights away from us users. Grok explained the most important changes (effective January 15, 2026) to me like this:

Brand protection

No one is allowed to use “Twitter,” the old bird logo, or terms like “Tweet” without written permission. This is a reaction to a legal dispute.

Expanded rights to your content

Everything you post or enter on X (texts, images, prompts to Grok, Grok’s responses) counts as “content.” You grant X a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license – they can use it for any purpose, including training their AI models. No opt-out, no compensation. As an EU citizen, the GDPR protects me a bit, but that’s about it.

Ban on AI manipulation

Jailbreaking or bypassing Grok’s safety mechanisms is now explicitly forbidden.

Scraping

Remains strictly prohibited – with heavy fines.

Other changes

Adjustments to EU/UK laws, disputes only in Texas, no class actions.

I requested my X archive this morning. As soon as it arrives, I’ll clean up my account thoroughly again. I’ve already removed my personal photos.

Here are my new rules:

  • Nobody has a right to my pictures – not X, not Elon Musk, not anyone.
  • I will no longer upload personal photos directly to X. They belong to me and will only appear here on my blog (external server) at most.
  • Yes, I will keep writing my blog. Whether X likes it or not. It’s the unvarnished truth and my intellectual property.
  • I have removed or set many blog entries to draft on X if they contained a picture of me.
  • I have also withdrawn my simple anti-fake idea from January 1, 2025. X showed zero interest – ice-cold shoulder. If anything, I’ll keep it for myself or give it to someone who actually wants to use it. (Scam operations would have been interested – X wasn’t.)
  • If I post images on X, they will only be AI-generated ones from free sites.
  • Premium? Not a chance. Premium without trust is impossible.

It’s sad that anyone even has to write this down.

Just as sad: When something goes wrong, we users now have to fight our way through DSA authorities ourselves while the platforms continue to ignore us. The idea behind the DSA is right, but in practice it barely helps victims. You get sent from pillar to post instead of the platforms finally being forced to provide direct and fast help.

Isn’t it enough that we’re already being ripped off by fakes?

  Sooner or later, the past catches up with you. Even through the brazen DUMM-Fakes of these platforms. Yesterday these fakes actually managed to get hold of my brand-new, supposedly secret phone number. How? No bloody idea! As always, X is restricting me again. Reason: I write the #truth in my blog. But what these DUMM-Fakes are really doing to people apparently doesn’t give a shit to X or any of the other platforms. I was completely on the floor. I called my boyfriend Ben đŸ’–. He came straight over in the middle of the night. We just stared at my phone. Then the call came. Video call. From exactly one of those DUMM-Fakes. Ben answered it. There was an older foreign guy on the screen. He said in English: “I want to speak to the woman.” Ben, ice-cold: “What do you want from my wife?” The fake was totally confused – and hung up. To all you fakes out there: I don’t exist for you! I’m happily taken! Go to a doctor, get your personality disorder treated! Leave normal users alone! To X a...

  All in the Name of Elon Musk! I like Elon Musk – he’s still a role model for me. Without him, I probably never would have discovered my love for various programming languages. But his fakes? They destroy lives! X needs to act – and fast! This isn’t a criticism of Mr. Musk himself. I like him! The real Mr. Musk, not those fakes. The public Grok is a matter of taste – I’ve had bad experiences with her. You see, I had a cool, easy-to-remember phone number. That changed with my last encounter with the worst fake ever. Surprise: He claimed to be Elon Musk… blah blah. For my own protection, I’ve removed the number and my name. From a reliable source, I know his IP isn’t from the US. The joke? No one does anything about it – no one! Are the big shots just indifferent? This fake called me 60 to 80 times a day – yes, you read that right! I’m not ready to share the last contact yet. He wanted me to sell my body to strange men! And the Grok on X finds my blog “inspiring”? Find the mistake...
