Meta modified its business account terms to remove explicit language about training AI on news sites, but legal experts say the changes are insufficient. Cornell Law School professor James Grimmelmann states that the revised terms still contain broad language allowing Meta to scrape entire websites under the phrase "associated with your products or services." The new terms take effect October 30th.
Why it matters
The dispute concerns whether Meta can legally use news publishers' content to train its AI systems without explicit permission, raising questions about intellectual property rights and the business model of news organizations.
What remains uncertain
It remains unclear whether Meta's revised terms will withstand legal challenge or whether regulators will intervene to restrict AI training on news content.
