Meta is actively contesting a lawsuit that accuses its employees of downloading copyrighted pornography from Strike 3 Holdings. The lawsuit alleges these downloads were used to train Meta’s artificial intelligence models. In a legal filing, Meta refutes this connection, asserting that any such downloads were strictly for ‘personal use’ and unrelated to the company’s AI development initiatives. The defense hinges on separating individual employee actions from the broader scope of Meta’s AI training practices.
