It’s interesting to think about what the right verb is.

I’d probably say Meta trained their models using all self-hosted, public AU citizen’s data.

But it doesn’t really sound as scary as “scraped” to non-technical users.

It does feel like scraped is being used for it's negative connotations.

Perhaps "consumed" would work just as well and be more accurate.
