LinkedIn is facing a proposed class action lawsuit after allegedly using customer data, including private messages, to train AI models without permission.
The lawsuit alleges that LinkedIn breached its contractual promises by disclosing users' private messages to third parties for AI training purposes.
LinkedIn reportedly introduced a privacy setting that allowed users to enable or disable the sharing of their personal data, but it was updated to state that opting out does not affect previous data training.
LinkedIn has denied the allegations, stating that they are false claims with no merit.
