Reddit has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against AI search developer Perplexity and three data‑scraping firms—Oxylabs UAB, AWMProxy and SerpApi—accusing them of illegally harvesting Reddit content and violating the platform’s copyright protections. The complaint alleges the firms bypassed technical barriers, accessed billions of search‑engine result pages, and traced the scraped data back to Perplexity, which had previously received a cease‑and‑desist letter. Reddit, which hosts over 110 million daily active users and more than 22 billion posts and comments, has previously licensed its data to OpenAI and Google and has taken legal action against other AI companies over similar concerns.
