Meta drops the word "train" from its commercial TOS after AI backlash
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Meta has dropped the word 'train' from its commercial terms of service after backlash over AI data scraping. The update revises language to remove training-related phrasing and instead describes periodic updates to support advertising and business products, while critics argue the change is still broad and does not commit to robots.txt respect or meaningful limits. The piece highlights calls from regulators and publishers for clearer protections and accountability in scraping practices.
