Meta updates business terms to allow use of website content for AI training
Meta has revised its terms of service for business users, stating that any company using Meta's platforms for commercial purposes grants Meta broad rights to use content from that business's website. The new terms reportedly permit Meta to feed this content into its AI systems, including its Muse AI model.

The change could significantly expand the pool of data Meta can use to train its AI products, drawing it from millions of business websites rather than just user-generated content on its own platforms. Businesses relying on Meta's advertising or commercial tools may face a difficult choice between accepting these terms or losing access to Meta's services, according to the report.
- Meta's updated terms grant broad usage rights over business website content for commercial users
- The content can reportedly be used to train Meta's AI tools, including Muse
- Businesses using Meta commercially may have little leverage to opt out of the new terms
