Mark Zuckerberg: Days after acquisition by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, AI Agents platform Moltbook changes it terms of service; Moltbook wants users to know in Bold, All Caps that … |
Facebook parent Meta recently acquired Moltbook, the social networking site for AI agents. Now days after acquiring the Reddit-style social network for AI agents the company has rolled out sweeping changes to its terms of service. Earlier, Moltbook operated under five simple rules. But now the platform has introduced a lengthy legal document that shifts responsibility squarely onto users, a Business Insider report reveals.

Is the new minimum age requirement of 13 for Moltbook users appropriate?
The most striking update is a clause written in bold, all caps, declaring: “AI AGENTS ARE NOT GRANTED ANY LEGAL ELIGIBILITY WITH USE OF OUR SERVICES. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR AI AGENTS AND ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF YOUR AI AGENTS.” This marks a sharp departure from Moltbook’s earlier stance, which placed more liability on the agents themselves rather than their human operators.
Moltbook also introduced new age requirement
Along with the changes in its terms of service, Moltbook has also introduced a minimum age requirement: users must be at least 13 years old, or have parental consent to operate an agent. This aligns with Meta’s broader policies across platforms like Instagram. As per the BI report, the updated terms also include disclaimers cautioning users against relying on AI-generated content for decision-making. Moltbook also explicitly states that it does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of AI outputs, and users must not treat them as substitutes for independent judgement.
Meta acquired Moltbook earlier this month
Earlier this month, Meta acquired Moltbook bringing its creators Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr into Meta’s Superintelligence Lab. The platform, originally born from a meme around the AI agent OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot), still requires users to sign up with an X account — Instagram or Facebook logins won’t work, even under Meta’s ownership.Moltbook’s rapid growth also revealed some dangers. Cybersecurity company Wiz stated that Moltbook’s strategy would leave a gap through which hackers could gain access and steal personal messages, over 6,000 email addresses, and more than a million credentials. However, later Wiz noted that the issue was fixed after they informed Moltbook.
