On November 14, 2024, I deactivated all three of my Twitter - X accounts, including the one for Quikthinking Software. The link to this account across this website will eventually disappear.

I haven't posted to Twitter - X since February, 2023. The decision was made at that time to no longer support the platform. Why now have I chosen to deactivate the accounts?

X changed their terms of service

Effective November 15, 2024, this was added to their user legalese... 

“By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make your Content available to the rest of the world,” which includes the right to analyze any of that content “including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type.”

Essentially, users must agree that X can use anyone's data to train its AI models. I can't go for that. See ya!
