Ringier Axel Springer Polska has formalized restrictions on automated data collection from its online properties, including its news sites and related digital platforms. The publisher’s updated terms of service, published today, explicitly prohibit web scraping and text and data mining-practices increasingly used to gather content for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. This move reflects a broader industry trend as media organizations seek to control the use of their intellectual property in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-driven content creation [[3]].
