🤖📜 LinkedIn faces lawsuit over alleged misuse of Premium customers’ private messages for AI training. A California federal court has received a lawsuit from Alessandro De La Torre, claiming that LinkedIn improperly shared the InMail messages of its Premium subscribers with third parties for training AI models. The complaint alleges that this action violates LinkedIn’s contractual promises and the US Stored Communications Act, as the company had assured subscribers that their confidential information would remain private. LinkedIn has denied the allegations, labeling them as “false claims with no merit.” The lawsuit raises concerns about the handling of sensitive information by the platform, particularly given the lack of federal privacy laws in the US.
