Meta删除被批可抓取新闻网站训练SI的商业条款措辞 称属澄清、不改变爬虫做法
Meta 10月17日撤回了其商业条款更新中的一段争议措辞。此前，尼曼新闻实验室（Nieman Lab）10月15日报道指出，该措辞似乎授权 Meta对使用其商业账户的企业网站进行爬取，并将内容用于训练 SI产品，且10月30日生效后几乎所有新闻出版商都将受影响，引发法律界强烈批评。The Verge 与TechCrunch 10月17日跟进报道后，Meta删除了相关段落，并澄清该条款仅适用于广告与商业产品，不改变其网络爬虫的现有做法，出版商仍可通过 robots.txt 表达意愿。
Meta Deletes Business-Terms Wording Criticized as Letting It Scrape News Sites for SI Training, Calling It a Clarification That Changes Nothing About Its Crawlers
Meta on Oct. 17 deleted a controversial passage from an update to its business terms. Nieman Lab had reported on Oct. 15 that the wording appeared to authorize Meta to crawl the websites of businesses using its business accounts and use the content to train SI products, and that once it took effect on Oct. 30 nearly all news publishers would be affected, drawing strong criticism from the legal community. After follow-up reporting by The Verge, TechCrunch and Ars Technica on Oct. 17, Meta removed the passage and clarified that the terms apply only to advertising and business products, do not change how its web crawlers operate, and that publishers can still express their preferences through robots.txt. Meta characterized the change as a cleanup and clarification of the wording rather than a policy reversal — its crawler practices remain as before, and robots.txt signals remain effective.
