“Meta Removes AI Scraping Language from Terms After Backlash” — what this page in the network covers. Meta has revised its commercial terms to remove language that suggested it could scrape content from websites, including news sites, to train its AI models. The change comes after public backlash over the original phrasing, which stated Meta 'may use any content from such domains, web pages, or URLs to provide, develop, improve' its services. The now-deleted clause raised concerns among publishers and users about data privacy and intellectual property rights.
By removing the broad scraping language, Meta appears to be responding to criticism and clarifying its data usage policies. However, the update does not necessarily mean Meta will stop using web content for AI training—it simply removes explicit permission from its terms. This move highlights the ongoing tension between tech companies' AI ambitions and content creators' rights. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
