Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says

According to a lawsuit, Meta (formerly Facebook) allegedly pirated and seeded pornographic content for years in order to train its artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The lawsuit claims that Meta may have exposed minors to this pirated porn while concealing the fact that it was using the material for AI training purposes. The lawsuit alleges that Meta's actions were a breach of copyright laws and that the company failed to obtain proper consent or licenses for the use of the pornographic content. It also suggests that Meta's actions may have had a negative impact on minors who were exposed to the material. The lawsuit seeks to hold Meta accountable for its alleged actions and to prevent the company from continuing to use pirated content for its AI training. It remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will unfold and what the ultimate outcome will be.
