TLDR

A federal judge has ruled that most of Reddit's DMCA lawsuit against Perplexity AI and other scrapers can proceed, even after Google faced a similar legal defeat.

Per SEOFOMO News, a federal judge has allowed Reddit's lawsuit against Perplexity AI, SerpApi, and other data-scraping companies to move forward. Reddit alleges the defendants bypassed technical barriers to harvest user posts, including content that appeared in Google search results. The decision is notable for contrasting with Google's earlier loss in comparable litigation.
