News Corp loses Australian subscribers and slams AI firms as 'crass kleptomaniacs'

News Corp reported a slight fall in digital subscriptions in Australia, dropping from 1,166,000 to 1,162,000 during the financial year, erasing recent gains. CEO Robert Thomson attacked AI companies as "crass kleptomaniacs" who are "in possession of stolen goods" — referring to the use of publishers' content to train AI models. Overall financials for the Murdoch-backed conglomerate remained robust despite the Australian dip.
