Meta AI news scraping concerns persist, legal experts say
Meta AI news scraping remains a concern: the company dropped 'train' wording from its business terms, but legal experts say the revision does not close the gap before October 30.
Meta removed wording that suggested it could train its AI on content from news sites linked to business accounts.
The revised business terms are due to take effect on October 30.
Legal experts say the phrase 'develop' and the 'associated with your products or services' wording could still allow broad scraping.
Meta says the update is not about scraping news sites and that robots.txt settings still signal owner preferences.
