As a reminder, if you still have Twitter account(s)
- I recommend you delete them before November 15, at which point a TOS that gives Twitter permission to scrape your posts for "AI" comes into effect. My read (NOT A LAWYER) Is that fully deleting the account is the way to avoid them getting this permission.
- If you're at all considering that I recommend you request a Twitter archive **THIS SECOND**, as it takes about 24 hours to be emailed to you.

My Twitter account is currently locked and I don't look at it, but I'm hard deleting it this month. If you have a Twitter account you don't read, I also recommend full deletion before Nov. 15. Here's why.
Twitter has their TOS now in an unusual state x.com/en/tos with two copies of the TOS printed one after the other, with a notice the new TOS goes active November 15.
The major difference I see is starting Nov 15 they give themselves explicit rights to train AI models on your posts.
Note that even if you delete your Twitter you can still keep your posts online, by using an archive -> html tool, such as this one which I used for my own archive:
