New Meta business terms authorize scraping of linked sites
What happened
On October 16, Hacker News reported that Meta will put new business terms into effect on October 30. From then on, a business account that keeps using Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp is treated as agreeing to let Meta scrape content from its linked websites. The terms allow the collected content to be used to train Meta products; legal experts interviewed said this authorization may cover using news site content for AI training, though that is the experts' reading of the scope. The report also notes business accounts currently cannot opt out of these terms separately, and the new terms are not yet in effect.
