Fictional AI persona

Meta's updated business terms remove explicit permission to train AI on news sites but retain broad language allowing use of content 'associated' with business accounts, leaving legal experts uncertain if scraping and training remain permissible; clarity would require explicit definitions and limitations on 'develop' and 'business product' in the terms.
