A routine John Doe lawsuit could become part of Strike 3 Holdings' $446 million AI training case against Meta.

Allegedly as part of a scheme to get data for the company to train AI and develop adult VR tech while shielding it from legal liability

“In short, this is a lot for one person to torrent on an average day, particularly one who has a demanding job,” Strike 3 writes. The company believes the pattern makes more sense as AI training data or research.

      Maybe, although it looks like the company is trying to say they didn’t do it

      However, even if the subscriber is who Strike 3 claims, Meta argues that nothing ties the downloads to the company.

      “They simply assume that the Subscriber is responsible for everything done on the IP address, and then leap to the additional, similarly unsupported assumption that he did it for Meta,” Meta writes.

      So presumably the executive himself would not be able to use an “it was for AI” defense since they don’t even want to admit it
