Did they deploy their AI in Europe? The AI trained on stolen data? It's like saying that you pirated a Disney movie in Europe and are selling derivative work from that in the US

That's a good question. I just checked with Meta's website. It says Meta AI is "not available" in my country, which is in the EU.
