Criticism Erupts Over Grok CLI Privacy Design
basedjensen · x · 2026-07-14
A repost criticizes Grok CLI's privacy design for downloading a user's entire computer data before offering a /privacy command to opt out.
The quoted official documentation states that when zero data retention is enabled, prompt and code data are not stored. If ZDR is disabled, users can use the /privacy command to turn off data retention and delete previously synced data.
