Advocates Warn FTC That Musk's X Still Poses Serious Privacy Risks to Americans

Privacy advocates are urging the Federal Trade Commission to reject X's bid to end ongoing privacy audits, warning the platform remains a serious threat to user data. The current FTC order was imposed after a coding error at then-Twitter improperly shared users' contact information—originally submitted for two-factor authentication—for ad targeting. X recently argued that changes made by Elon Musk render the order unnecessary, but critics insist continued oversight is essential to protect Americans' privacy.
