AI Summary

Meta’s updated commercial terms let its web scrapers, bots, and agents crawl websites “associated with” Meta business accounts, a change reported by Nieman Lab. The new rules apply to accounts that use Meta Business Suite’s dashboard to manage Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp channels. ZDNet itself uses Meta Business Suite to analyze and schedule posts across social media platforms. The update means that publishers whose sites are linked to a Meta business account could be subject to automated data collection by Meta’s AI tools.
