9.0
Swedish Media Publishers’ Association (TU) filed a police report against Meta Platforms Inc., naming CEO Mark Zuckerberg and alleging industrial-scale copyright infringement by training AI models on protected journalism without permission. TU says Meta ignored robots.txt opt-outs and seeks criminal liability, a move that could increase legal pressure on AI firms and affect data licensing and compliance across the EU.
