On October 17 (local time), Meta made revisions to its forthcoming business terms of service, eliminating language that had previously sparked controversy. The initial terms permitted Meta to utilize content sourced from pertinent websites for the development, enhancement, research, and training of its products and services. This provision stirred up concerns among media publishers and legal experts, who feared it could grant Meta the ability to extensively scrape internet content for AI training purposes. In reaction to external inquiries (doubts), Meta excised the pertinent language and clarified that the updated terms are solely relevant to advertising and commercial product domains, and will not alter the existing utilization of web crawlers.
