A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is a guess since I'm not a lawyer, but since users license their content to Twitter when posting it, Bright Data might have to prove fair use. I don't think that question has been answered yet in relation to AI model training, but search engines have been doing this for decades for what it's worth, so I don't know.

This seems to have been addressed by the judge:

By attempting to exclude Bright Data from accessing public X posts owned by X users, X also nearly "obliterated" the "fair use" provision of the Copyright Act, "flouting" Congress' intent in passing the law, Alsup wrote.
