00:00Meta removed AI training language from revised business terms after publishers and businesses pushed back.
00:06Publishers with Facebook or Instagram business accounts remain concerned about Meta collecting their website content.
00:12The company initially proposed terms, allowing automated tools to collect content from business accounts' associated websites.
00:20Business accounts faced an October 30th start date for the language that prompted the backlash.
00:25Meta then removed the word train and narrowed the stated uses to advertising and business products.
00:31Company spokesperson Andy Stone said the changes were not about scraping news sites.
00:36Legal experts told Neiman Lab, a journalism publication, that Meta still had broad website collection permissions.
00:44Danielle Coffey, CEO of publisher group News Media Alliance, called the rules outrageous and probably illegal.
00:51Meta's revised terms remove training language, but publishers' concerns about website scraping remain.
