Legal experts say Meta's revised AI terms still allow scraping of news sites

Meta has revised its business terms to remove wording that suggested it could freely train its AI models on news websites such as The Verge. Legal experts argue the changes do not go far enough, as language about content "associated with your products or services" could still permit scraping of entire sites. James Grimmelmann, a digital and information law professor at Cornell Law School, said the edit does nothing to restrict that phrasing. The original terms for business accounts had appeared to grant Meta permission to train its AI on news content. The updated terms are set to take effect on October 30th.

The researchers said they found shared pages containing a marketing firm's internal revenue review and a small business owner's loan application. Ars Technica reported that Meta had paused the sharing feature after being contacted about the issue. Meta's David Singleton addressed the matter in a post on X.

FCC Blocks Two Gadgets Over Chips It Calls Foreign Surveillance Threats

The Federal Communications Commission has used a power it granted itself in October to block devices containing chips from companies on its national security threat list. This marks the first time the agency has exercised that authority. The FCC says the two gadgets contained foreign surveillance chips, though it has not publicly identified which devices were blocked. The chip named by the agency is a HiVision Hi3516CV610 system-on-chip, which converts a raw camera sensor into functions like home security cameras or dashcams. The full details of the action had not been independently confirmed at the time of reporting.
