I am a hobbyist security researcher, filterlist maintainer, and wannabe law nerd. I help maintain the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool. I post about a variety of topics including cybersecurity, content filtering, law, tech, and trans rights. This is also the best place to find updates on my filterlists, as I often post about bugs and improvements to them. I am not an expert; do not take anything I toot as truth. Retoot/like != agreement. Not legal/medical advice. Profile picture: truncated screenshot of a WINE error message. The error message is titled "Download failed". The message reads "Download Failed: Success. Check your connection and click 'Retry' to try downloading the files again, or click 'Next' to continue installing anyway." There is only one button labeled "OK". Header image: A Windows error message against the default Windows wallpaper. The error message reads "Windows cannot find iam-py-test. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

A lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California on 31 March alleges Perplexity shared its users' chat logs with Meta and Google, and three of which are listed as defendants. The lawsuit also alleges Perplexity offered an "incognito" mode which in reality provided no extra protection.

I can't find the docket on Court Listener (yet), but here is the complaint from Ars Technica: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Doe-v-Perplexity-Complaint-3-31-26.pdf

And here is their reporting: https://web.archive.org/web/https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/perplexitys-incognito-mode-is-a-sham-lawsuit-says/

I can not comment on the legal or factual merits of the case.
