Meta executive faces lawsuit for torrenting 20k porn videos from his home
Allegedly as part of a scheme to get data for the company to train AI and develop adult VR tech while shielding it from legal liability
“In short, this is a lot for one person to torrent on an average day, particularly one who has a demanding job,” Strike 3 writes. The company believes the pattern makes more sense as AI training data or research.

How much of that was child porn? I’ll bet it’s more than a few.
