February’s Legal Landscape: AI Copyright Infringements, Social Media Settlements, and DOGE Data Grabs
Despite being the shortest month of the year—and Black History Month in the US—February brought several new developments in tech litigation. This roundup gathers and briefly analyzes key legal issues from the past month, including AI training data and copyright violations, social media companies settling over transparency laws, the first lawsuit brought under Washington’s My Health My Data Act, about a dozen new lawsuits filed against DOGE for accessing federal government data systems, an important Ninth Circuit decision on Section 230, tech antitrust actions against Google/Alphabet and Amazon, among others.
The Tech Justice Law Project (TJLP) tracks these and other tech-related cases in U.S., federal, state, and international courts in this regularly updated litigation tracker. Beyond gathering these updates, the roundups will also feature educational opportunities for readers to deepen their understanding of new cases and legal developments in the tech policy space.
To that end, we invite you to join TJLP for a webinar in March that will explore the ongoing Renderos v. Clearview AI lawsuit brought by activists alleging various privacy violations by the notorious facial recognition company, featuring Plaintiffs’ Counsel Sejal Zota, Co-Founder and Legal Director of Just Futures Law.
