In a significant legal move, Reddit has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the AI company trained its models on Reddit users’ data, including deleted posts, without consent. Unlike competitors such as OpenAI and Google, who pay for data licensing and adhere to Reddit’s terms that protect user privacy and deletions, Anthropic has refused to engage in similar licensing agreements. Reddit’s user agreement prohibits commercial use of its posts, a rule Anthropic allegedly ignored. The platform emphasizes the importance of its Compliance API, which notifies licensees to delete content when a user removes a post or comment, ensuring user trust. Reddit accuses Anthropic of unjust enrichment, claiming the company profits from products trained on Reddit data without compensation. The lawsuit seeks to block Anthropic’s data scraping and demands proper user consent and compensation.

Jun 4 For those asking if this is real:
Reddit signed multiple content licensing deals —
→ $70M+ with OpenAI
→ $60M with Google
→ While calling Reddit comments “foundational” to training AI models
Users? Never opted in.
Creators? Still unpaid.
The conversation needs to start

18h AI wouldn’t EXIST without your data.
Therefore, the plagiarizing AI social media platforms (Reddit, Medium, Substack, Meta, X, Rumble, Truth Social, Blue Sky, Threads, YouTube, etc). should PAY YOU for your data. Right? Damn right!
DO NOT pay a cent to these AI shiz joles.
