Meta has revised its terms to eliminate language that suggested it could scrape content from news sites for AI training. This change follows backlash and aims to clarify the company's practices regarding web crawling. Meta's representatives emphasized that the updates do not alter how web crawlers are used and that content owners can still manage their preferences through robots.txt.
The removal of the controversial language is intended to address concerns from content creators and clarify that the changes do not grant Meta new rights over their content. The company reassured that its practices remain unchanged.
