Meta tweaks AI training terms on news scraping, but legal experts unconvinced
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-10-23
Meta's new business terms (effective Oct 30) initially stated Meta "may use any content associated with your products or services" to train AI, appearing to authorize scraping news sites. Meta has since removed that language, but Cornell law professor James Grimmelmann told Nieman Lab the change "does nothing to restrict" the broader clause letting Meta scrape entire sites — experts' concerns remain unaddressed.
