Meta updated its commercial terms to say it could use any content from a business account’s domains for AI research. Legal experts said that could let Meta scrape publishers’ sites to train its models. After pushback, Meta said the clause only applied to ads and business products, and it has now been removed, according to The Verge.
Why it matters
Publishers with Meta business accounts no longer face the risk that their site content could be harvested for Meta’s AI training without separate permission.
