Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations
"...court records reveal that the social media company used pirated torrents to download 81.7TB of data from shadow libraries including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen. It then used this information to train its AI models."

I like the question in the headline.
"Did they think they could get away with it?"
Yes, in fact, they will.
@noellemitchell
Moral of the story? Never #meta. Full stop.
@noellemitchell Of course they’ll get away with it. What, is the judge going to enjoin them from distribution? Take it off the market? I’ll believe it when I see it.
@noellemitchell Oh no! I wonder what will happen next!
@noellemitchell Just like his buddy, Trump. Zuck can ignore court orders too.
@noellemitchell best thing Meta ever did maybe? :)
