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"
