Meta has removed the word "train" from its commercial terms of service following backlash from legal experts who warned the language could allow indiscriminate scraping of websites linked on business pages. Despite Meta's claims that the changes only clarify existing policies, experts say the revised terms still permit invasive scraping and do not go far enough to protect content owners.
Background
Meta is rolling out new commercial terms of service on October 30 that affect how business page users' shared data can be used, raising concerns about AI training and web scraping rights.
