LinkedIn Lawsuit Over Alleged Misuse of Customer Data for AI Training is Dismissed

A class action lawsuit against LinkedIn, alleging privacy violations by sharing Premium customers' private messages for AI training, has been dismissed.

Plaintiff Alessandro De La Torre filed a notice of dismissal in a San Jose federal court after LinkedIn claimed the lawsuit lacked merit.

De La Torre accused LinkedIn of breaching its promise to use personal data solely for service improvement.

Although LinkedIn's updated privacy policy raised concerns about data sharing, the company provided evidence that private messages were not used for AI training.

LinkedIn's lawyer confirmed in a post that they never disclosed customers' private messages.
