AI Summary

Meta revised its terms of service for business accounts after criticism of a planned update set to take effect later this month. The company removed a clause that gave it the right to use content from business‑account domains for AI training, though the revised terms still allow Meta to employ web scrapers and other automated tools to access, index, cache, analyze, collect, retrieve, or crawl those sites. The original language, flagged by Nieman Lab, had also permitted Meta to use any scraped content to develop, improve, research, train, and maintain the integrity of its products, services, and features. The change addresses concerns about how Meta might scrape publisher sites linked to business accounts.
