Meta delays new business terms after outcry over potential web scraping of news sites
Meta is delaying new terms for business accounts after a backlash from media companies and open-web advocates. The terms, set for October 30, would allow Meta to use automated tools to scrape data from business accounts. Critics argue this could lead to Meta building competing services using the scraped content. A Norwegian court recently suspended the terms, and the UK is investigating. Meta insists the terms are about accurate product information, not news scraping. Despite Meta removing the word "train" from the terms, European critics remain unsatisfied, emphasizing the impact on journalism and media diversity.
