- Strike 3 Holdings accuses Meta of downloading 2,369 adult films to secretly train an AI model since 2018.
- Meta argues the limited downloads were for personal use and not related to AI training activities.
- The company highlights that generative AI research began only in 2022 and prohibits adult content generation.
- Meta requests dismissal of the case, stating the evidence does not support the allegations made.
[T]hese claims fail not only for lack of supporting facts, but also because Plaintiffs' theory of liability makes no sense and cannot be reconciled with the facts they do plead. The entire complaint against Meta should be dismissed with prejudice.— Meta argues against the claims made by Strike 3 Holdings and Counterlife Media in response to allegations of illegal torrenting.
