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.

But your employer or meeting host can access everything you say, record, and type, and Zoom shares data with advertising and analytics partners. The privacy story is split: strong on AI and content use, weaker on employer surveillance and ad-tech.
