A lawsuit in California accuses Linkedin of using private messages on its platform to train AI models, according to the BBC.
The lawsuit alleges that in August 2024, the Microsoft-owned social network allegedly introduced a new privacy setting that automatically enrolled users in a program that allowed their personal data to be used for AI training.
Linkedin also reportedly tried to cover it up a month later. In a comment to the BBC, a spokesperson for Linkedin called the accusations false and unfounded.
