Thirdly, the companies are not quite telling the whole truth. In August, news broke that Meta was indexing the web to enable its AI chatbot to provide responses to user questions. At the same time, a much less trumpeted new entry on Meta’s website stated that it will scrape everything written on the web by companies and individuals to improve products “by indexing content directly”. If indexing is equivalent to scraping and, as we debated earlier in Committee, “improving products” is scientific research, this Bill represents the end of both IP and data protection simultaneously.
