Reddit is suing AI startup Anthropic, accusing it of ripping data from its social media platform to train AI models—despite public promises not to.
The lawsuit dropped Wednesday, claiming Anthropic secretly scraped Reddit content without permission.
The issue started when Reddit warned AI companies against using its data without consent. Anthropic said it respected those terms. Now Reddit says that was false.
This legal move highlights growing battles over data use by AI firms.
Reddit is pushing back hard, demanding compensation and an end to unauthorized data scraping.
Anthropic has not responded publicly yet.
