The disputed changes affect data use and dispute options. Twitter now claims broader rights to user content. The company can also use public posts for artificial intelligence training. The new terms force disputes into California courts. Many users must accept arbitration instead of lawsuits. These moves angered people worldwide.

A New York photographer sued first. She claims Twitter stripped away key protections. Her content now faces possible misuse. A small business owner in Texas followed with legal action. He objects to mandatory arbitration. He wants the right to sue in his local court. More cases may come soon.

Legal experts see potential class action risks. They note users received minimal warning about the changes. Twitter announced the updates through its platform only. Many people missed the notification. The company stands by its notification process. It insists the changes are lawful and necessary.
