News Corp is countersuing Brave, accusing the browser company of “scraping” and using News Corp articles to train or support artificial intelligence systems, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The company says the alleged “theft” harms publishers and journalism by taking content without permission. The dispute follows an earlier lawsuit filed by Brave against News Corp. Brave had accused News Corp of using threats to impede AI development, arguing that News Corp’s actions are aimed at restricting how AI tools can access or use information. Both sides are now litigating over competing claims: Brave argues News Corp’s conduct interferes with AI progress, while News Corp argues Brave improperly collects or reuses news content for AI purposes. The cases center on how AI systems obtain and process journalistic material, including questions around consent, access, and the legality of content scraping. The lawsuits are ongoing, and the reports provide allegations and positions from each party rather than a final legal outcome.
