But that’s not quite how the law works. Meta’s response here is “you have no evidence of any wrongdoing”.

The fact we’re even discussing this shows that there’s at least some doubt that Meta could be successfully prosecuted for downloading alone.

With regards to uploading, legally speaking, it sounds like they’re right. Generally, the presumption of innocence means that whoever’s doing the accusing carries the burden of proof, and without any evidence that Meta did anything wrong, it also sets a worrying precedent that Meta would proactively have to prove their innocence in the face of no evidence to the contrary.
