Meta updated its business account terms effective October 30th to remove explicit permission for AI training on news sites, but legal scholars argue the revised language still allows such scraping through broad 'associated with your products' clauses. Cornell Law professor James Grimmelmann and others contend the changes are insufficient to prevent unauthorized content use. The dispute centers on whether Meta's revised terms genuinely restrict AI training on third-party news content.

Key points

  • Meta modifies terms but retains broad scraping language
  • New terms effective October 30th
