Zuckerberg personally authorized Meta copyright infringement, publishers allege
Publishers suing Meta over its Llama AI models are now claiming Mark Zuckerberg personally signed off on using millions of copyrighted books and articles for training data, a move that could dramatically raise his personal legal exposure. The allegation, surfacing in ongoing litigation, puts Zuckerberg in the same position as a knowing participant rather than a distant executive. Bestselling legal thriller author Scott Turow is among the plaintiffs.
