X collects everything you do on and off the platform, infers your identity even when you're signed out, and explicitly allows third-party 'collaborators' to use your data to train their own AI models. There is no meaningful way to stop the core collection, your public posts are available via API for mass scraping, and security is disclosed only in the vaguest terms.

Controls are reasonably accessible, but retention timelines are vague, Do Not Track is ignored, and the breadth of the ad-tech ecosystem is larger than you might expect from a subscription service.
