Personal tl;dr:

  • Affects only large platforms for now
  • Selling illegal goods is not allowed and there must be a way to report that content
  • Ad targeting based on sexuality, religion, ethnicity or political beliefs is not allowed
  • Targeting ads on children is restricted
  • Transparency on how recommendation algorithms work
  • Option to opt out of recommendation algorithms
  • Requirements for data sharing with researchers and authorities
  • Cooperation with crisis response requirements
  • Requirement for external and independent auditing

Musk is actively trying to stop data sharing. He threatened to sue a researcher that was using the api to collect data for breach of terms of service.

...to stop data sharing for AI training (or other purposes) for other people. There is no way I believe Musk wants to stop the collection and use of data, especially since he is trying to make his own AI. Even with the fact he is trying to kill off Twitter at the same time.
