Business accounts will consent to Meta scraping their websites Starting Oct. 30

Starting October 30, Meta's new terms of service will allow the company to scrape content from websites associated with business accounts on its platforms, including news publishers, and use that material to train its AI products. Legal experts warn that while it's unclear if courts would enforce this provision, publishers should assume the scraping rights are enforceable, as the practice could provide Meta access to content worth millions in licensing fees.
