Meta quietly rewriting its commercial terms after publisher backlash is a telling signal: content owners' leverage is finally being felt. But deleting the language doesn't answer the harder question — what was already collected under those terms and whether it stays in training pipelines. On our view, this reads less like a principled concession and more like legal cleanup; the scrape-first, negotiate-later playbook remains intact. Expect publishers to push for explicit licensing deals next, the route OpenAI has already taken with several major outlets. Worth watching whether Meta follows suit or keeps betting on public data and its own archive.
