Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Reddit is suing Perplexity, SerpApi, Oxylabs, and AWMProxy to stop them from scraping its data. It claims Perplexity will apparently do anything to get Reddit's data except enter into an agreement with Reddit directly. Reddit sent a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity in May last year, demanding it stop scraping Reddit data, but Perplexity claimed it didn't use Reddit content. This was shown to be untrue after content posted on Reddit was produced by Perplexity within hours of the post being made.
