Meta’s AI could still scrape news sites, legal experts say

Summary

Meta removed language from its business terms that suggested it could freely train AI models on news sites such as The Verge. Cornell law professor James Grimmelmann tells Nieman Lab that the change does not restrict the "associated with your products or services" wording, which he says would still let Meta scrape entire sites.
