Medium Jul 2, 2026

The updated terms now explicitly prohibit the deployment of AI Agents to access, use, interact with, or take action on Comcast services unless Comcast expressly grants permission. This includes automated activities such as obtaining information, making requests, monitoring activity, copying, downloading, scraping, or data mining the services. The agreement also prohibits AI Agents from accepting terms on a user's behalf or engaging in support or sales interactions. Users who currently use automation tools or third-party integrations with Comcast services may need to seek express permission from Comcast or discontinue such automated access.

Chegg Medium
