Meta changed its business terms to drop the phrase that it may “train” its AI on any content from sites linked to a business account. The updated wording still lets Meta “use that scraped content to develop any ‘business product,’” which experts say can include AI training. The changes take effect on October 30, 2026. Meta says publishers can still block crawling with robots.txt files.
Why it matters
Publishers may still have their articles used to improve Meta’s AI products despite the wording change.
