This provision restricts how researchers, journalists, developers, and ordinary users can interact with X's data, and violations could result in legal action or account termination.
By using X, you grant the platform an extremely broad, royalty-free license to use, modify, and distribute your content worldwide, while X's financial liability to you is capped at just $100. X can suspend or terminate your account not just for rule violations, but also for prolonged inactivity or what it deems 'commercial inviability', with limited recourse available to most users. You can deactivate your account at any time by visiting your account settings to terminate the agreement.
