Legal experts warn Meta's new terms still allow broad data scraping

Original: Legal experts warn Meta's new terms still grant broad scraping permissions

Legal experts say Meta's updated terms of service, despite reworded language, continue to grant the company broad permissions to scrape and use users' content, including for training artificial intelligence systems. The analysis has drawn attention from technology and media industry watchers, with critics arguing the changes are largely cosmetic and do little to limit how Meta exploits personal data.

Why now: Users and analysts are scrutinising whether Meta's revised terms genuinely restrict or merely rebrand its data scraping practices.
