    Never thought we’d be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I’m all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let’s go save the rest.

    I think the best part of the article (besides the decision of course) is the following:

    “A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”

    If videos are being downloaded more than once, it’s hard to argue it’s just for model training. lol.

    They are mostly getting hit because they seeded, which is hilarious that even Meta couldn’t risk get banned for hit and run on a tracker.
