flag Reddit sues Perplexity AI and others over alleged illegal scraping of user content for AI training.

flag Reddit has sued Perplexity AI, Oxylabs UAB, SerpApi, and AWMProxy in New York federal court, alleging they illegally scraped millions of user comments for AI training by bypassing technical protections and using deceptive methods, including harvesting data from Google’s search results. flag The company claims the defendants engaged in unfair competition and copyright violations, accusing Perplexity of ignoring a prior cease-and-desist letter and continuing to access content despite Reddit’s safeguards. flag Perplexity denies using Reddit data and asserts its commitment to open access, while SerpApi and Oxylabs deny wrongdoing and vow to defend themselves. flag The case follows Reddit’s earlier lawsuit against Anthropic and reflects broader industry tensions over AI data sourcing.
