The Alliance of Independent Authors reported that 300 self‑publishing writers have each filed separate copyright claims targeting Meta’s platforms.
The filings follow a pattern of rights holders suing tech companies for using copyrighted material to train large language models, but this batch represents individual actions rather than a collective lawsuit.
According to the announcement, the authors are pursuing the claims independently, signalling a new strategy for confronting alleged unauthorized use of their works.
The move was noted in a news summary posted on the Self‑Publishing Advice Center on 29 October 2026.
