Businesses & affiliated entities should REALLY reconsider using ANY Meta product.

By using WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook... they now automatically opt-in to their websites getting scraped, collected & used to train (likely) MetaAI.

It includes the creation of fake accounts (so called test credentials¹) to gain further access, to restricted data.

Only options to opt-out:

1. c/DeMeta
2. Robots.txt with: User-agent: FacebookBot Disallow: / User-agent: Meta-ExternalAgent Disallow: /

METAdata!

Part 1 of the paragraph:

"You authorize us (or any entity acting on our behalf) to use automated software (such as web scrapers, bots, robots, spiders, crawlers, and user agents) and create test credentials to access, index, cache, analyze, collect, retrieve, or crawl the domains, web pages, or URLs (and any content available through them)..."

So this data can even be collected by 3rd parties working with Meta?

Part 2 of the paragraph:

...that are associated with your products or services, or that are made available through your or users' use of Meta Company Products and services, and to periodically pull updates from such domains, web pages, or URLs in order to provide, develop, improve, research, and maintain advertising and business products...

"your or users' use" is especially concerning, as it is extremely loosely phrased and would cover a wide range of people.
