NYT demands Brave shut down paywall blocker and end AI deals

Original: NYT demands Brave shut down its paywall blocker and end deals with AI firms https:// lemmy.zip/post/74461259

The New York Times is demanding that browser maker Brave shut down its paywall-blocking feature and end its deals with AI companies, according to a report circulating online. The dispute centers on Brave's tools that bypass publishers' paywalls and its licensing arrangements that let AI firms train on news content, putting the browser maker directly at odds with one of the most litigious media companies on copyright issues.

Why now: The New York Times is widely known for aggressively protecting its content, so a direct confrontation with Brave over paywalls and AI licensing is drawing attention amid broader fights over AI training data and publisher rights.
