GoKawiilMeta business account terms now permit AI crawling of linked websites, effective Oct. 30
Meta has updated the commercial terms for Meta Business Suite to explicitly allow its bots and automated tools to crawl, index, and use content from websites associated with business accounts, including news publishers. The change takes effect October 30 with no opt-out option; businesses must accept the terms or lose access to the platform. Meta describes the update as a consolidation of existing conditions rather than a new policy.
