LinkedIn is facing a lawsuit for allegedly allowing third-party partners access to private InMail messages of Premium customers for AI model training. The lawsuit, initiated by Alessandro De La Torre, claims that LinkedIn disclosed sensitive personal communications without consent, undermining their contractual obligations. Although customers in regions like the EU and Canada are exempted from such data usage, American users, where privacy laws are lacking, are automatically opted into sharing settings. The lawsuit is prompted by LinkedIn's policy to use customer data in AI development, questioning the inclusion of private message content.
LinkedIn breached its contractual promises by disclosing its Premium customers' private messages to third parties to train generative artificial intelligence ('AI') models.
When this setting is on LinkedIn and its affiliates may use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn for that purpose.
