📝Reddit filed a lawsuit against 📝Anthropic in June 2025 alleging unauthorized use of Reddit content to train 📝Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Filed June 4, 2025, in San Francisco Superior Court (case CGC-25-625892), the complaint claims the startup violated Reddit’s user agreement by using posts for commercial purposes. The case follows Reddit’s 2024 licensing deals with 📝Google and 📝OpenAI; Reddit also alleges Anthropic continued crawling the site more than 100,000 times after being asked to stop. According to TechCrunch, it is the first time a major tech company has sued an AI startup over training data. Anthropic has disputed the allegations, per CNBC.
