You Don't Own "Your" X/Twitter Account
-
This came out of the story where the Onion buys InfoWar.

X Corp. claims ownership of InfoWar's X/Twitter account. While X/Twitter acknowledges that the users generally own the content posted by the users, X/Twitter claims it owns the X/Twitter accounts themselves.
"X Corp.'s [terms of service] make clear that it owns the X Accounts, as the TOS is explicit that X Corp. merely grants its users a non-exclusive license to use their accounts," the company told a federal judge in Texas.
There's the term "non-exclusive" in there ... probably means anyone can be allowed to use "your" X/Twitter account if X/Twitter allows it. :man-shrugging:
