The company points out that, despite the allegations of respect for the rules in its marketing material, Anthropic acts as if it was unrestricted to use any content from the social network as it wants, without legal consequences.
According to experts, the case can establish precedents for the use of data in AI technologies, impacting other companies and digital platforms. The court decision may influence future regulations on privacy and intellectual property in the digital environment.
While the case runs, Anthropic has not yet officially commented on the accusations.
