I assume they’re doing it without distilling since they’re within reach of lawsuits, so they’re basically handicapped by ethics, which has to feel unusual for Meta.

Just to say the obvious, the idea that it's unethical to distill from AI models, but totally ethical to train on copyrighted source material is … definitely a take that the frontier labs have encouraged.
Fair point. But Meta also has a vested interest in keeping terms of service strong, so it wouldn’t really do for them to violate Anthropic’s and then go to court over it. Meta would then be in a lose-lose scenario, all over an open weight model that is a money sink to begin with.
