Die Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF) hat ein Gutachten veröffentlicht, das erstmals umfassend belegt, dass die AfD verfassungswidrig ist. Jetzt geht es darum, dass Bundestagsabgeordnete das wissen – und das Gutachten in ihrer Fraktion auf die Agenda setzen. Du kannst den Abgeordneten in deinem Wahlkreis mit wenigen Klicks eine E-Mail schicken. Das habe ich gerade gemacht. Es dauert zwei Minuten. Hilfst du auch mit? Hier kannst du deine E-Mail versenden:

I’m trying to understand the privacy implications of the LeakyLM / IMDEA findings and the related dismissed-without-prejudice lawsuit involving Perplexity, Meta and Google.

The lawsuit allegations were not proven in court, and the case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Separately, the LeakyLM researchers reported privacy risks involving conversation URLs, trackers, metadata and access controls across several AI assistants, including Perplexity.

For Perplexity specifically, LeakyLM reported that conversation URLs had been disclosed to third-party trackers such as Meta Pixel, that Meta Pixel was discontinued on April 3, 2026, and that conversation URLs were transmitted to Datadog.

Important caveat: the researchers explicitly state that they do not have evidence that third-party trackers actually read the conversations.

Has Perplexity published a detailed technical or legal response to these specific points?

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has acquired data analysis software from the French company ChapsVision as an alternative to products from the controversial US firm Palantir.
The French software is capable of analysing large volumes of data using artificial intelligence and is intended for use in counter-terrorism and counter-espionage.
The BfV is the first federal authority to adopt a European alternative to Palantir, whilst several state police forces continue to rely on Palantir applications.
