Meta将从10月30日起在新的商业服务条款中获得权限，使用自动化网络爬虫抓取与商业账户相关网站的内容1。该条款明确允许Meta使用收集的内容来训练其AI产品1，影响范围涵盖所有商业账户持有者，包括新闻出版商1。商业账户用户无法在10月30日前选择退出该条款1。
法律专家对此举措提出关切。律师Matt Topic指出，"这会给Meta获得在许可市场上价值数百万美元的材料的权限"1。另一位法律专家James Grimmelmann警告称，Meta可能"直接为用户提供内容或通过AI"，甚至与出版商竞争1。法律专家认为新条款可能使Meta能够绕过robots.txt等屏蔽指令1。
此举引发业界反应。The Steampunk Explorer创始人Stephen Beale表示正认真考虑在10月30日前关闭账户1。这一事件发生之际，Meta正面临来自五家大型出版社的集体诉讼，指控其使用数百万本书籍训练Llama大语言模型1。
Meta will obtain broad rights to automatically scrape content from websites associated with business accounts under updated terms of service taking effect on October 30 1. The new commercial terms explicitly permit the company to use collected material to train its AI products, affecting all business account holders including news publishers 1.
Business account users cannot opt out of these terms before the October 30 deadline 1. While Meta claims that website owners can use robots.txt files to block such scraping, legal experts argue the new terms may provide Meta with legal justification to circumvent these technical barriers 1. Legal scholar Matt Topic stated that "this will give Meta permission to get material worth millions of dollars in a licensed market" 1. Another legal expert, James Grimmelmann, warned that Meta could "provide content directly to users or through AI" and potentially compete with publishers 1.
The policy shift arrives amid ongoing legal challenges to Meta's AI practices. Five major publishing houses filed a class action lawsuit in May against the company over its use of millions of books to train its Llama language model 1. Some business account operators are responding by considering account closure before the deadline; Stephen Beale, founder of The Steampunk Explorer, indicated he is seriously weighing this option 1.
