The high-stakes lawsuit between adult content producers and tech giant Meta over the alleged downloads of copyright-infringing videos is heating up. In a new filing, Strike 3 claims that a Meta employee allegedly deleted over 9 terabytes of torrented files. Meta notes that this claim, which originates from an unrelated case, is mischaracterized and irrelevant. Regardless of the outcome of these and other ongoing discovery disputes, both parties aim for a trial in 2028.
I don’t think I really care who wins that one, but :
Oh, yeah, just your ordinary downloading porn on the corporate network of a tech giant megacorp, as you do.
Either a lie or an admission of baffling incompetence.
Do you think tech companies filter their employees’ internet?
They have tens of thousands of employees, a few of them are bound to download some porn at some point. And the amount downloaded is about 20 files per year on average.
Not a company since I’m in public administration, but my structure has a few thousands workers, most of them having access in some form to the network.
They do filter our internet. I don’t give a fuck whether people consume porn with their own devices and connections. But if you can download porn, you can download anything, including malware. And a bad actor having access to data on our network would be disastrous.
Unfortunately, meta has that kind of data too. In fact hoarding private data is what their business is about. Not securing their network is criminal.
Tech companies, as a general rule, do not filter the internet of their employees, because those employees generally need to do a lot of stuff with the internet (or networking besides the internet) and filtering it would cause a lot of problems.
Production machines (where the data lives) can be much more restricted than work machines. Strong access controls mean that compromising a work machine doesn’t give you access to production data.
Your casual 9 TB of porn.
It wasn’t 9TB of porn, the title is very misleading. Strike3’s formal complaint is about 157 downloads over a period of 7 years.
Damn, the title got me. Thanks for the correction.
To be fair, if I had the money, I would make my own porn NAS too. I would call it “the NASS” or something.
I’d go with ”Freak NASty”
NASSY
I don’t have “the money” and I have 22…
That’s some dedication
9 TB of work porn.
Considering it was Meta, it’s probably 90% CSAM anyway.
You wouldn’t download a 9
A quick wank, really
Gotta be at the office.
Absolutely. Or, as they say, “sporadic”.
Too early for the Metaverse, just in time for Metawankers.
Meta has such nice work benefits. They offer a special room for viewing too or just have a wank at desk?
