Marin v. Meta Platforms

Putative class action under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14/15(b)) and Illinois right-of-publicity law. Seven Illinois journalists, podcasters and audiobook narrators allege Meta extracted their voiceprints from recorded speech and used them to train commercial voice-AI models — including Voicebox, Audiobox, Massively Multilingual Speech and SeamlessM4T — without notice or written consent. One of several parallel suits filed against major technology companies that week. Filed May 11, 2026 · District Court, N.D. Illinois · No. 1:26-cv-05438.
