I am surprised Meta took this aggressive approach considering they automatically populate autogenerated public pages with content drawn from Wikipedia whenever available (at least thats how it looks, with a tiny attribution to the source. But most importantly, Wikipedia infobox & page photo show up majority of the cases as primary information).

So Meta scraping Wikipedia is okay, but other entities scraping Facebook-owned media isn't?
