WHAT. THE. FUCK??

This section clarifies that Meta has a license to use the content you share-such as photos, videos, and linked websites-to provide and improve its products, including developing and training Al features.So can META use the content on my blog, the music on my website, to train its Al? Yes, Meta may use content from your blog or music on your website to train its Al if those domains are associated with your professional account or shared through Meta products. The terms you cited authorize Meta to use automated software, such as crawlers and spiders, to access and analyze domains, web pages, or URLs associated with your products or services.
