Microsoft's LinkedIn sued for disclosing customer information to train AI models

LinkedIn users have filed a class action lawsuit against the platform for allegedly using their private messages to train AI models without consent, seeking compensation for privacy violations.
The lawsuit claims LinkedIn unlawfully disclosed sensitive information to third parties within Microsoft's corporate structure, violating user privacy agreements.
LinkedIn updated its privacy policy in September 2024, stating it would use member data for AI training, but the lawsuit alleges data use began earlier without proper consent.
The plaintiffs are demanding $1,000 per user for damages and a court order to delete AI models trained with their private messages.
