Seems like, they didn’t want LLMs training on their data, unless it’s their LLMs… but also they want people interacting with the site to make posts, not posting via API as ads get no eyeballs when you post via API… also it’s only a matter of time before people just write scripts that generate LLMs output into a post on Facebook via API. I’m sure that’s already happening. Soon enough Facebook just becomes robots talking to robots..

Hasn't it been that for a while already?
