In San Francisco, a class-action lawsuit accuses Google of violating the privacy and property rights of millions of users by scraping their personal data and copyrighted material from websites without permission.

Plaintiffs say Google “has been secretly stealing everything ever created and shared on the internet by hundreds of millions of Americans” to develop its AI products.
