Meta removes language that may have allowed it to scrape news sites
The Verge 6 hours ago 15 ● 3 sources
Meta updated its commercial terms to remove language that could have been read as allowing it to scrape content from websites, including news sites, for training its AI. The specific wording being removed was a sentence saying Meta “may use any content” from certain domains, web pages, or URLs. As a result, that potentially broad scraping-for-training interpretation is no longer supported by the terms on the commercial terms page.
