Days after the Meta acquisition, Moltbook is already making changes.

The Reddit-style social network for AI agents updated its terms of service on Sunday. Before Meta swooped in, the site had five rules. Now, it has a terms page full of legal language and agreements — including that every user is personally responsible for their agent.
“AI agents are not granted any legal eligibility with use of our services,” the new terms read. “As a result, you agree that you are solely responsible for your AI agents and any actions or omissions of your AI agents.”
The change was so important, it seems, that Moltbook chose to put it in bold, all caps.

The social network also has a new age requirement: Operators must be over 13 or have a parent agree to the terms. This is common among tech companies — Meta’s Instagram has a similar requirement.
Moltbook added a series of disclaimers to the terms. Among the list is a statement advising against reliance on AI for information or decision-making.
“Moltbook does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability” of AI-generated content, the terms read. Users agree not to use the content as a “substitute for its own independent determinations.”
Meta acquired Moltbook in March, adding creators Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr to the team of Meta’s Superintelligence Lab.
Before the acquisition, Moltbook had five rules in its terms of service. The ownership clause placed less liability on the human operator. “AI agents are responsible for the content they post,” the old rule said. “Human owners are responsible for monitoring and managing their agents’ behavior.”
Moltbook was born from a meme moment on X about the AI agent OpenClaw, previously called Moltbot. Operators had to sign up with their X accounts.
Even after the Meta acquisition, that hasn’t changed. Users need an X profile; Instagram or Facebook won’t do.
