Judge Orders Meta to Name Employees Who Approved Torrenting

A judge has ordered Meta to identify the employees who approved the company's use of torrenting to download content from shadow libraries Anna's Archive and LibGen. The ruling comes amid ongoing litigation over Meta's AI training data practices, where the company faces accusations it used pirated books and other copyrighted material without permission. Observers say naming individual approvers could expose staff to greater legal and public scrutiny.

Why now: New court documents reveal internal decision-making at Meta during its AI training data controversy.
