Judge Rules Blacked.com Can Sue Meta for Scraping Its Porn

8 days ago by misk to c/technology

The judge found that Meta’s attempt to blame the pirating of thousands of Vixen.com and Tushy.com porn videos on rogue employees “strains credulity.”

Every time I read an article about Facebook, I hate them a little more.

Meta argued that Strike 3 Holdings failed to show that Meta actually intended to use Strike 3 Holdings’ videos to train its AI models and that Meta, the company, was actually responsible for downloading the videos, as opposed to rogue employees downloading porn on company time from company IP addresses.

I think they protest too much.

And it's extra scummy to blame corporate behavior on scapegoat employees.

"Yes our IP was responsible for torrenting 229TB of your 4K HDR porn, but it was actually this employee, Josh, who was behind it"

Where's the part where meta actually get punished for insulting the judicial system with a defence that is clearly an insulting fabrication

What they need to do is use this as evidence AI corps intentionally trained their AI to make deep fake porn....

I’m sure the judge feels really validated about their career choice right now.
