Reddit sues AI company Perplexity, others for industrial-scale scraping comments
- randycupertino 1y agoThe NYTimes article has some interesting additional details about this case: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/technology/reddit-data-scrapers-perplexity-theft.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/technology/reddit-data-sc... > Reddit said it had set a trap for Perplexity by creating a “test post” on its site that could “only be crawled by Google’s search engine and was not otherwise accessible anywhere on the internet.” Within hours, Perplexity search results had surfaced the content of that test post, the lawsuit said.
