Top line: Meta's revised business terms now reportedly require business customers to indemnify the company — including attorneys' fees — for claims tied to its AI features, adding a liability clause to a terms package that has already drawn two language removals and a push to a November 20 enforcement date. The day's other item is a single-source explainer on Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro.

1. Meta's business terms make customers liable for its AI's mistakes

Continuing thread: ai — Meta business terms: crawling 'associated' businesses effective Oct 30

What happened: Meta's new business terms require customers to indemnify the company for claims tied to its AI features, including attorneys' fees — leaving customers holding the legal exposure for what Meta's AI does, according to StartupFortune (published about 1:00 AM ET October 24). The terms are the same package this storyline has been tracking: scraping and training language was removed in two passes (October 17 and October 22), and Meta delayed enforcement from October 30 to November 20 on October 23.

What's genuinely new: A liability-allocation clause is a new layer for this terms package. The earlier rounds turned on what content Meta could crawl and train on; this report establishes that the terms also shift legal exposure onto customers — any claims arising from the AI's mistakes, with Meta covered for attorneys' fees.

Watch: Whether the indemnity clause survives to the November 20 enforcement date the terms currently carry, how business customers respond, and whether legal experts give it the same scrutiny the scraping language drew.
