LinkedIn Privacy Lawsuit Over AI Data Dismissed

A proposed class action lawsuit against LinkedIn, which accused the company of using users' private messages to train AI models, has been dismissed after the plaintiff, Alessandro De La Torre, withdrew his complaint. LinkedIn denied the allegations, describing the lawsuit as baseless and stating that it never shared private messages for AI training purposes. The case gained attention following LinkedIn's privacy policy update in September, which raised concerns about data sharing practices. Eli Wade-Scott, representing De La Torre, acknowledged that LinkedIn provided evidence to confirm it did not use private messages for AI training. LinkedIn's legal team emphasized the importance of setting the record straight regarding the claims made in the lawsuit. The dismissal reflects ongoing tensions surrounding data privacy and consumer trust in AI usage.
