I mean it's public available data, can't they do that regardless?
Google scraping bots don't ask for permission either
From the nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx told you so X files:
When X unveiled its newest terms of service, which go into effect on November 15, users quickly picked up on one change.
“By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make your Content available to the rest of the world,” the terms of service said, which includes the right to analyze any of that content “including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type.”
Basically, by continuing to use the platform, users will agree that X can use their data to train its AI models.

Commercial versus non commercial usage.
If you haven't granted rights, that is an easy lawsuit if you can identify the bad actor.
Ok but still not clear, how does it differ between the scraping bots? Can i sue Google, pretty sure they commercially exploit the scraped data?
No difference. You'd need to be able to 1) identify the bad actor that infringed upon you and 2) be able to prove they did you harm of some sort.
Nobody would likely take that fight to Google because they'd just bury you in legal mumbo jumbo for years. You'd need some law office doing some sort of class action most likely.
