X Seeks to End FTC Audits Ahead of July 2 Deadline as 15 Privacy Advocates Urge Rejection

According to Ars Technica, X has filed a request with the Federal Trade Commission to terminate ongoing data audits of the platform ahead of a July 2 public comment deadline. The company argues that the FTC order is no longer necessary due to its rebranding under Elon Musk's ownership and claimed compliance with EU data privacy regulations. However, 15 privacy and consumer protection advocates—including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Demand Progress, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center—co-signed a letter this week urging the FTC to "unequivocally reject X Corp.'s brazen attempt to escape accountability." The letter states that X and its leadership "present a serious risk to Americans' privacy and data security," demonstrating the continued need for FTC oversight.
