Meta 移除引发爬取和AI训练担忧的语言
Meta removes language that raised scraping and AI training concerns
Meta 更新了其商业使用条款，声明公司可以使用企业账户的任何内容来提供、开发、改进、研究、训练和维护其产品和服务。然而，这一条款引发了关于爬取和AI训练的担忧。Meta 官方表示，这一条款仅适用于其广告和商业产品，并已在其条款中进行了澄清。现在，Meta 已移除这一条款。
Meta recently updated its commercial terms of use, declaring that the company can “use any content from [a business account’s] domains, web pages, or URLs to provide, develop, improve, research, train, and maintain the integrity of” Meta products and services.
According to legal experts interviewed by Nieman Lab, this looked like a “remarkable provision” that could give Meta permission to scrape the website of any publisher with a Meta business account and use the content to train the company’s AI models. (While Meta defeated a high-profile lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement last year, other cases against AI companies, including Meta, continue.)
However, a Meta spokesperson insisted that the updated terms did not reflect a change in the way Meta crawls the web. And now, The Verge reports that the provision has been removed.
“We’ve heard you and want to clarify: the crawling terms we consolidated only applied to our ads and business products, and we’ve clarified that in the terms themselves,” the company said in a statement. “It does not change how Meta uses web crawlers.”
