广播公司NRK于周二报道称,挪威各大媒体公司已就Meta提出的新商业条款将其告上法庭,并对新闻内容可能被用于训练人工智能模型表示担忧。
Major Norwegian media companies have taken Meta to court over its proposed new commercial terms, raising concerns about the potential use of news content to train artificial intelligence models, broadcaster NRK reported Tuesday.
挪威媒体协会(MBL)的成员辩称,新条款将赋予Meta抓取由编辑把关的媒体机构所发布的每一篇文章、照片和视频的权力。
Members of the Norwegian Media Association (MBL) argue that the new terms would grant Meta the right to scrape every article, photo and video published by editorially controlled media outlets.
包括NRK、TV 2、Schibsted、Amedia、Polaris、Aller、DN、Mentor Medier、NTB和Hordaland Folkeblad在内的各大媒体机构已要求奥斯陆地区法院暂停Meta的新条款,等待对其合法性进行司法审查。
Major media organizations, including NRK, TV 2, Schibsted, Amedia, Polaris, Aller, DN, Mentor Medier, NTB and Hordaland Folkeblad, have asked the Oslo District Court to suspend Meta’s new terms pending a judicial review of their legality.
挪威媒体协会主席莱娜·埃尔特维克·温德费尔德(Lene Eltvik Vindfeld)表示:“我们认为应当在法律上对此进行评估,以确定这是否真的符合挪威法律。”
“We believe that this should be legally assessed to see if this is actually in line with Norwegian law,” said Lene Eltvik Vindfeld, chairwoman of the MBL.
NRK的法律总监奥拉夫·尼胡斯(Olav Nyhus)也表示,他们“绝不”希望Meta能够利用其内容来进一步强化Facebook等平台,尼胡斯还补充说,要终止与Instagram和Facebook的协议并非易事,因为这些平台已成为传播信息的重要渠道。
NRK’s legal director Olav Nyhus also said they “in no way” want Meta to be able to use their content to further strengthen platforms such as Facebook and Nyhus added that it would not be easy to terminate agreements with Instagram and Facebook, as the platforms have become important channels for disseminating information.
他说:“Meta的做法正在摧毁新闻业的整个经济基础。”他还补充道:“我们认为Meta的行为和条款明显违反了竞争法。”Meta最近修改了其商业条款,删除了引发人们对新闻网站可能被用于训练人工智能模型的担忧的措辞。
“What Meta is doing is destroying the entire financial basis for journalism,” he said, adding: “We believe that Meta’s conduct and terms are a clear violation of competition law.”Meta recently revised its commercial terms to remove language that raised concerns about the potential use of news websites to train artificial intelligence models.
修改后的条款明确规定,自动抓取网站旨在开发、改进、研究和维护广告及商业产品。
The revised terms specify that automated website crawling is intended to develop, improve, research and maintain advertising and business products.
这些规定仍然允许Meta使用自动工具(包括网页抓取工具、机器人和爬虫程序)来访问和收集与使用其平台的企业相关联的网站上的内容。
The provisions still allow Meta to use automated tools, including web scrapers, bots and crawlers, to access and collect content from websites associated with businesses using its platforms.
拟议条款的早期版本包含有关使用收集到的材料来“训练”Meta产品的措辞,这引发了出版商和法律专家对版权新闻内容可能被用于人工智能开发的担忧。
An earlier version of the proposed terms included language about using collected material to “train” Meta products, prompting concerns among publishers and legal experts over the potential use of copyrighted news content for AI development.
此后,Meta删除了相关表述,并澄清抓取规定适用于广告和商业产品。
Meta subsequently removed the reference and clarified that the crawling provisions apply to advertising and business products.
