Meta's new terms let it use business website content
Original: Meta to Literally Every Business User: Nice Website You Got There
Meta has updated its commercial terms so that any business using Meta for business purposes grants the company broad rights over content from that business's website, including feeding it to its Muse AI model. Critics are calling it an aggressive grab of business data, with commentators comparing the move to a protection racket, warning companies that merely having a Facebook or Instagram presence may hand Meta wide licence over their site content.
Why now: Businesses are alarmed that simply using Meta platforms could expose their website content to AI training under the new terms.
