!shot mt-quote.webpmt-post.webp | images/ | The clause, as Tami Hoffman, Director of Public Policy at The Guardian, put it on screen in a video on LinkedIn on 27 October 2026: "This ⬇️ is filling up my inbox. Meta's decision to update its 'commercial terms of use' has got news organisations around the world riled. 90 seconds of your time and I will explain why." The video opens on the clause: "You authorise 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, analyse, collect, retrieve or crawl the domains, web pages or URLs (and any content available through them) 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." | medium | aside

Tami Hoffman, Director of Public Policy at The Guardian, posted on LinkedIn on 27 October: "This ⬇️ is filling up my inbox. Meta's decision to update its 'commercial terms of use' has got news organisations around the world riled. 90 seconds of your time and I will explain why." The video puts the clause on screen, word by word, and shows Meta's page with the clause highlighted inside the section where a business grants Meta its licences. It is a good way to see it, because the clause is one paragraph among many that most businesses accept without reading.
