LinkedIn is facing a lawsuit accusing it of sharing users' private messages with other companies to train AI models.
The lawsuit claims that LinkedIn added a privacy setting that automatically opted users into a program allowing third parties to use their personal information for AI training.
The lawsuit seeks $1,000 per user for alleged violations of the U.S. Federal Stored Communications Act and an unspecified amount for breach of contract.
LinkedIn previously settled a class-action lawsuit for $13 million regarding unauthorized email sending.
